(Note: It has been brought to my attention that I had included a row {Row 17: (p2, k4, p2) X 3} which is not necessary to the pattern, I knitted this a long time ago and cannot remember the reference book i pulled it out from, so I have decided to take that row 17 out. )

    Hi,

    You could create your own scarf just by following this stitch with a garter or moss stitch border. Good luck!

    Is something wrong with row 16? Is it supposed to be row 17 and row 16 is the same as row 2? Thank you! It looks beautiful so far.

    Thanks so much for this beautiful cable, I’m knitting it right now, is so easy to make!
    For me in Row 17 is something wrong , well not really wrong but I think you confused the k and the p when writing down because (k2,p4,k2) x3 didn’t look right to me so I did (p2,k4,p2) X 3 instead and the cable is coming out just fine.
    Thanks again for the great pattern!

    the panel itself contains 24 stitches, on either side I just added a few reverse stockinette to create a background, you can add as many as you like.

    I wrote earlier saying that there was still a problem with the pattern. Since then I have knitted it for the front of a sweater and I can confirm that it is definitely a 16 row pattern. There are other sites where you can check this. Row 17 should be removed. Thanks.

    Thanks for sharing this. A really well written pattern. I really had to concentrate though! I used it as the basis of a knitted afghan square for a friend.

    Thank you for your free patterns. I have a little problem of comprenhension but t’s because my level of english is not as good as I want.

    I made a pullover (I have finished sleeves and back) and now I’ll begin with the front of it and I decide to follow your pattern instead of the design of the model. I have a doubt with your post because I read 2 patterns. First, your explications and second one call “ROPES”. I see your blue sample and I see the white sample and I’m not able to see where is the difference. The explications are differents. Is it a problem of difficulty? Can you help me? Thank you a lot.

    Is there a typo with abbreviations for the cr3l and cr3r? Shouldn’t they be the same amount of stiches on cable needle? So is it 1 or 2? Or is that right? Please let me know asap thanks.

    Louise… the 2nd and all even-numbered (reverse-side) rows you work the stitches as set, purl the purls and knit the knits. Row 16 is the last row of the pattern repeat I thnk.
