Basically, for seasoned knitters, with about 48 ounces of worsted weight yarn, cast on 230 stitches using size 10 1/2 circular needles, work a seed stitch for six rows and then begin knitting six stitches and purling six stitches across the row, maintaining four seed stitches on each side. Twisting a cable stitch on the knit stitches every sixth row, continue the same until desired length is reached, ending with six rows of seed stitch. Happy knitting !

"I LOVE this and I especially LOVE it in this color". I think it looks richer in a solid color and how perfect is this neutral...
ReplyDeleteWow, that's really impressive!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What an amazing project! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and I love the color. It must be so awesome to be able to knit and make all sorts of cool things like that!
ReplyDeleteI also admit that while I've love to actually DO it, I don't have enough desire to learn it, I guess. So I'll just enjoy all that you do!
Thanks for linking up today.
Very nice...looks really warm and comforting. I don't know how to knit, but would like to learn. Any tips for newbies? Stopping by from SOYCM.

That is a beautiful afghan!! I did a sweater for my grandson in that stitch, and really enjoyed the outcome! Thank you so much for the post and for the mushroom recipe! It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI learned to knit a long time ago just because I wanted to make a cable knit blanket. I made a dishcloth and then didn't do anything and now I don't know how to knit anymore- but this blanket makes me want to figure it out again. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I wish I could knit. The color is beautiful. I'm stopping by from Cielo's.
