Haley Knits

I learned to knit in second grade, and did so constantly for about seven years. I stopped for most of high school, but recently took it up again. Didn't want to flood my main blog with knitting so this happened instead. Enjoy!

I made this scarf for my dad for Christmas. I had wanted to find a nice manly-yet-classy cable pattern before I left for the debate tournament last week, but no such luck. So I just made one up. (This pattern isn’t particularly exact, as I kind of made this up as I went along and didn’t think to write it down until just now) Yarn: 1 skein Cascade 220 (Color used was 2414 or 7824, but any would probably work) Needles: Clover Takumi size 8 (or whatever size feels most comfortable for you, I’ve never been particularly devout with regards to gauge) Stitches: C3P1: slip 3 st to cable needle, hold to front of work, p1 off left needle, k3 off cable needle C3K1: slip 3 st to cable needle, hold to back of work, k1 off left needle, p3 off cable needle C3K3: slip 3 sts to cable needle, hold to back of work, k3 off left needle, k3 off cable needle C3P3: slip 3 sts to cable needle, hold to back of work, p3 off left needle, p3 off cable needle C1P3: slip 1 st to cable needle, hold to front of work, p3 off left needle, k1 off cable needle C1K3: slip 1 st to cable needle, hold to back of work, k3 off left needle, p1 off cable needle Central stitch: p3 k3 p24 k3 p3 on RS, k3 p3 k24 p3 k3 on WS Pattern: Cast on 35 stitches. Work in k3/p3 rib for 12ish rows. *Next row: p3, C3P1, make 1 p in next st, p until 7 sts remain, C1K3, p3 Next row: k4, C3K1, k20, C1P3, k4 Continue in pattern (increase number of sts outside cable by 1 each row) to last row: p14, C3P1, C1K3, p14. The cable pattern should form a triangle. Next row: k15, C3P3, k15 Next row: p14, C1K3, C3P1, p14 Next row: k13, C1P3, k2, C3K1, k13 Continue in pattern (decrease number of sts outside cable by 1 each row) to last row: k3, C1P3, k22, C3K1, k3* Work 5 rows central stitch, then repeat rows between * Work in central stitch until desired length is reached. Repeat rows between * Work 5 rows central stitch, then repeat rows between * Work 12 rows in k3 p3 rib Weave in ends Since the body of the pattern is functionally stockinette stitch, you’ll need to block the scarf well to prevent curling and allow the pattern to show through
