Block: Using mild dishwashing detergent, soak and gently agitate the Kaya scarf, then rinse well. Roll in bath towel to remove excess water and spread flat on towels or carpet to dry. Using your fingers gently block the scarf out sideways to spread the cable open and allow the scarf to dry with the garter stitch sides flattened.

Note: The scarf in the photo had a slightly random spacing of the cable row. Some were placed 2 rows closer together, some 2 rows further apart.
