GAUGE:
10 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern st. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:
Scarf is designed with a Garter st (knit every row) border, but edges may roll gently. If you prefer that edges do not roll, dampen finished Scarf thoroughly, pin out onto a flat surface and allow to dry.

Cable Panel Scarf Reviewed by Darylee Foertsch on 2013-02-20
I too used 2 skeins instead of 3.
I also found the edges to roll far to much.
Though it is pretty, I will be using the frog stitch on it as soon as I figure out a better pattern. Any suggestions on how to get the edges not to roll using a different pattern combination are welcome.
Also, I think next time I'll try two cables in the same width of the scarf. There is a lot of blank space on either side of the cable which I think makes the rolling of the edges more pronounced.
Perhaps simply limiting the edges to 3 stitches instead of 5 with two cables down the middle will help?
