Free Super-Simple Cable Scarf Knitting Pattern Snoo's Knits
This charming scarf features a very basic cabling stitch, making it the perfect project for beginners who are new to cabling or experienced knitters looking for a simple design to work on while relaxing in front of the TV. The easy-to-follow pattern allows you to customize the width and length of your scarf to suit your style and needs. Plus, we’ve included instructions on how to join the ends, enabling you to transform your scarf into a cozy snood for added versatility.
Stitches used: sl1k (slip 1 knitwise), sl1p (slip 1 purlwise), C6L (Cable 6 Left - fully explained in the pattern instructions).
You will need:
- Yarn: For this project, I recommend using Stylecraft Special Chunky wool. It took just one 100g ball to complete the scarf, but keep in mind that the amount of yarn required may vary based on the desired length and width of your scarf, as well as the thickness of your yarn. To ensure you have enough, it's wise to have extra yarn on hand—so consider purchasing more than 100g.
- Knitting Needles: Choose knitting needles that are suitable for your chosen wool. For this pattern, I used UK size 6 [5.0mm, US size 8] needles, which worked well with the yarn.
- Cable Needle: A cable needle of about the same width as your knitting needles will be essential for completing the cabling stitch successfully.
Whether you're knitting for yourself or creating a lovely handmade gift for a friend, this cable scarf pattern is a wonderful addition to any knitting project list. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the satisfying process of knitting a beautiful, textured scarf that will keep you warm and stylish throughout the seasons!
