Free Knitting Pattern
Cable Comfort Throw
|
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
Pattern #: 60607A |
A perfect way to learn to cable! If you know how to knit and purl, you can make this beautiful Throw. Just work the stitches carefully for 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.

GAUGE: 8 sts = 4 in. [10 cm] over St st (k on RS, p on WS) 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.

| Cable Comfort Throw Reviewed by Kelly Ernst on 2009-06-16 |

I made this blanket in just over a week. It knits up so quickly and looks so good! However, the pattern makes it a little short so I ended up repeating the cable pattern 9 times instead of 7 like it originally calls for. I also used size 15 needles for a softer effect. Each panel ended up taking two skeins for a total of 10 skeins. I also chose to alternate color panels for a rugby stripe effect.
I'm probably going to end up making these for the rest of my life since everyone who saw it wants one :)
Great pattern for beginner cablers!
