Chunky Cable Knit Scarf

Chunky Cable Scarf

 This scarf is probably one of the cutest projects I've finished & definitely the coolest pattern I've ever come up with! The chunky wool & US 7 / 4.5 mm needles also make it a relatively quick project to finish. It probably won't take you more than a week :)

The chunky cables of this scarf make it incredibly warm & kind of fun to wear - it's definitely going to be a 'statement' scarf...if that makes any sense.

This was an easy pattern. I'd highly recommend it to those who want something that looks complicated, but is simple to make. I think it's a good beginner pattern for newbies who know how to knit and purl.

It's not too late to knit yourself this stylish and practical winter scarf. Knitted on just 40 stitches using US 7 / 4.5 mm  knitting needles and a simple cable sequence.

Using the US 7 / 4.5 mm needles cast on 40 stitches. Start straight into the pattern.

Worked over 10 stitches

Row 1: p2, k6, p2
Row 2: k2, p6, k2

Row 3:Repeat Row 1.
Row 4: p2, place 3 stitches on cable needle and hold to front, k3, k3 from cable needle, p2
Row 5: k2, p6, k2
Repeat rows 1 through 5.

These 5 rows form the pattern. Repeat until desired length is reached or until all 3 balls have been worked. Allow a couple of meters of yarn to cast off with. 

Using the darning needle, work the loose ends into the scarf. Give the scarf a press with a warm steam iron, concentrating on the edges.

If you want a wider scarf, just cast on another 10 stitches (50 in total) and work 5 cable rows .

Happy Knitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
