Nimue Cabled Wrap

Welcome to my ongoing Avalon series, where we delve into a stunning array of cabled knitting designs inspired by the enchanting novel, Mists of Avalon. This captivating pattern showcases the intricate beauty of cable work while embracing the legendary tale of Arthur, Gwenhwyfar, and Lancelot. As many of you may know, this riveting love triangle ultimately leads Lancelot to marry Elaine, with whom he has a daughter, Nimue, famed for her exceptional beauty.

This design features a series of elegant cables that are seamlessly integrated, employing simple cabling techniques that yield a visually complex piece. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, the pattern offers an opportunity to develop your cable knitting skills, transforming your projects into works of art.

In this creation, I utilized aggressive blocking to achieve a light and airy fabric with a wonderful drape, moving away from the traditional stiffer fabric that typically accompanies cables. This technique not only enhances the aesthetic of the piece but also adds a degree of comfort, making it perfect for layering or wearing as a statement accessory.

For those keen on dimensions, this project measures a generous 70" long by 15" wide after blocking, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. The pattern includes both charted and written instructions, catering to different learning styles and ensuring that you can easily follow along.

When selecting your yarn, I recommend using worsted or Aran weight for the best results, allowing the cables to truly shine and showcase their intricate detail. Embrace the allure of Avalon, and let your creativity flourish with this enchanting knitting pattern!
