GAUGE:

9½ sts = 4 in. [10 cm] over Scarf Pattern Stitch. 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

CABLE STITCH EXPLANATIONS

T3B (Twist 3 Back) Slip 1 st to a cable needle and leave at the back of your work, k 2 sts from your left needle, then p the1 st from cable needle.

T3F (Twist 3 Front) Slip 2 sts to a cable needle and leave at the front of your work, p 1 st from your left needle, then k the 2 sts from cable needle.

C3B (Cable 3 Back) Slip 1 st to a cable needle and leave at the back of your work, k 2 sts from your left needle, then k the 1 st from cable needle.

NOTES:

A perfect way to learn to cable! If you know how to knit and purl, you can make this beautiful Scarf. Just work the stitches carefully across each row, working the cable according to the directions in the Cable Stitch Explanations.

Basically, a cable is nothing more than moving stitches so that they change places with other stitches. To move stitches, just slip the indicated number of stitches off your left needle and onto a cable needle. Allow the cable needle to hang from your knitting with the stitches on it while you work stitches from your left needle. Then, following the specific row directions, work the stitches from the cable needle.

Beautiful Pattern!! Reviewed by Vivienne Baldassare on 2009-03-08
This was my first attempt at doing cables and it turned out great. The pattern is really beautiful and looks so much more intricate and difficult then it actually is. I think its a great project for a beginner who is tired of the usual scarf. The only problem is that the scarf tends to curl inward from the sides, almost hiding the cables. Blocking by pinning it down, spraying it with cold water and letting it dry helped a little.
