Chevron and Cable Scarf Pattern

Cable and Chevron Scarf knitting pattern (pdf)

Mind you, I call it that so that knitters who've been bleeping over the Sherlock posts might give it a click, because it is the Watson Jumper Scarf. But if you don't know Sherlock from a steamshovel, it's still a very nice, gender neutral scarf pattern.

Cables are so dead easy, once you try it you will feel silly that you were ever nervous of them. And yet they look so impressive that even people who know how to do cables ooh and aah over them.

My best cabling tip is to work several rows past doing the cable twist before you panic that it looks terrible. Because, frankly, it looks terrible right after you twist those stitches. Everything is all bunched up and stretched funny and it needs a few plain rows to get over that. Also, if you tend to have tight gauge, you'll need to loosen up or the cable row will be absolute misery to knit. (Ask me how I know!)
