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.

I've mapped out the sweater, since PBS.org had the episode on their very pausable website. I've just not done the swatching/gauge maths yet to get it going.

I looked at at least one version of the sweater on Ravelry, and I think they've Done It Wrong. So I want to do my own version. :-)

Granted, the chevron chart isn't perfect, but overall it's a nice version. Adjusting the charts would have played merry hell with the stitch count, so I went with it. (Also, I'm almost finished with it and not going back!) I'll be interested to see yours, though.

Hi. Look, it's the Internets!

It is a good interpretation of the sweater. I also think the chevrons are a bit wonky, and spent most of my time starting at the screen trying to sort out how those chevrons got to look the way they did. I think I've sorted it out, and will play with it once I've gotten past the Christmas knitting.

Yeah, the chevrons are definitely reverse stockinette, not seed stitch, and I think it's wrong with how the chart lines up with the cables. If I had noticed the cable row difference before I started, I would have changed which row I started the pattern on. But I've spent so much time with the pattern now that we're besties. We're getting BFF bracelets as soon as I sew on the sleeves. ;)

I did a lot of squinting at the screen and came up with a chart that's basically texturedknitter's chart, but with an odd number of stitches. It seems kind of narrow, but I get the same count every time. Probably blocking will open it out a bit.

Technically the scarf is wrong - no buffer between cables - but it's close enough!
