Claire's Cables

PATTERN

US size 8 needles
At least 175 yds of worsted weight yarn : such as Cascade 220

Cast on 88 stiches (distributing evenly if using dpns)

R1 : Place marker and join in a round. Knit all stitches.

R2 : P1, K1 around

R3 - 8 : Repeat following P1, K1 rib

R9 : Knit all stitches.

R10 : Make sure that the first stitch after the marker should be a purl stitch. This row establishes the groups (right now there are 8 groups of 11 stitches).

So you will start by following ; P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, m1. Repeat 11 times, this should bring you back to the marker.

R11: P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, m1. Repeat.

R12: P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k2, m1. Repeat.

R13 - 17 : P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k4.

Repeat R18: P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, slip two stitches to cable needle, hold to front and knit next two stitches. Knit stitches from marker. Repeat around so there are eleven groups of stitches, hemmed in by eleven cables. This group will be repeated seven more times so there are eight cable twists total

R19- 22: P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k4.

Repeat R23: P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, slip two stitches to cable needle, hold to front and knit next two stitches. Knit stitches from marker. Repeat around so there are eleven groups of stitches, hemmed in by eleven cables.

Following the eighth row of cable twists: switch to dpns when necessary.

Decrease rows: 1 : P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k2tog, k2. - Repeat. -10 stitches in each group or 110 total 2 ; P1, k1, P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k2tog, k1. Repeat. - 9 in each group - 99 total

3 : P1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, k2tog. Repeat - 8 in each - 88 total

4: P1, K1, p1, k1, p1, k1, k2tog. Rep (Note: the final decrease should steal the first purl stitch after the marker which you can remove if you haven’t already). - 7/ 77

5 : K1, p1, k1, p1, k1, k2tog. Repeat, - 6/ 66

6 : p1, k1, p1, k1, k2tog. Repeat. - 5/ 55

7 : k1, p1, k1, k2tog - 4/ 44

8 : p1, k1, k2tog - 3/33

9 : k1, k2tog - 2/22

10 : k2tog - 1/ 11

Break yarn about 12 inches away from work, running through all stitches and pull tight. Knot it off and weave end in. Key M1 : Make 1 stitch by knitting into the front of the stitch, then purling into the back of the same stitch before dropping it off the needle.

  2. The mistake is on row 10, there's 11 groups of 8 stitches, the knit stitch being the last of each group, and that stitch is being multiplied to four for the cable. Row 10: p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1 (this is the missing stitch from the original pattern) ,m1 (99) Row 11: p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k2,m1 (110) Row 12: p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k3,m1 (121) Row 13, and on to cables: p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k1,p1,k4
