Free Knitting Pattern: Cousteau Cables Cowl

Wow, two patterns in a week! I'm on a roll! (Just ignore the fact that the last one was supposed to be posted a long time ago! Haha)

I got the idea for these cables from the Up, Down, All-Around Stitch Dictionary by Wendy Bernard. I highly recommend it! It's my favorite stitch dictionary. The idea for this was from the Big and Little Cables. I ended up making little cables from big yarn. 

Cousteau Cables Cowl

Materials:

Size 13 Circular Needles (~26" cable)

90 yards of Super Bulky yarn (shown in MadelineTosh A.S.A.P. in the Cousteau colorway)

One cable is 2.5" wide

One pattern repeat (one cable and the purls in between) is 3.5" wide (unstretched)

Abbreviations:

CO - cast on

BO - bind off

K - knit

P- purl

C8F - Slip 4 stitches to cable needle, hold to front, knit next 4 stitches, then knit the stitches from the cable needle 

Instructions:

CO 77 stitches or any multiple of 11. Join for working in the round and place stitch marker. 

Rounds 1-8: [K3, P2, K3, P3] around 7 times (or however many multiples of 11 you chose)

BO in pattern. When approaching the 'P2' part in between the cable, P2 together so the cable won't flare, and continue your BO as usual.
