Celtic Cable Scarf

In this tutorial we talk about working the stitches in the Celtic Cable Scarf, pattern by Vanessa Lewis. This pattern includes both charted and written instructions, and uses size US 6 (4mm) needles. The pattern calls for 16″ circulars, but you can use longer circulars or straight needles.

My finished scarf is knit in Winter Lake.

The cable needles I show in the video:

The Brittany wood cable needle
The sterling silver cable needle
The short DPN I show is a 5″ needle from ChiaoGoo.

In the video I mistakenly said the pattern is by Vanessa Ewing – it is designed by Vanessa Lewis! Sorry for the mistake.
