Today's Knit: Cable Capable

Cable knits always look incredible. It's a simple way to take a piece and give it a... well, twist. When first learning how to cable, I did it with a cable needle, which is how most people learn. However, cable knitting with a needle is time-consuming, and when I found a guide to knitting cables without a needle online, I immediately decided I wanted to learn!

There are so many videos showing how to cable without a needle, so I'm not going to make one. However, once you've had a look at how to do it, here's a wonderful pattern to practice on! I created it for my own practice, so it's simple enough to learn on. The instructions are for cabling with a needle, so even if you've decided to go with the classic technique, it will work.

Cable Capable is a scarf knit from side to side, lengthwise. It's got a lace window option, for more advanced knitters, but it's not necessary for beginners. More importantly, it's got loads and loads of beautiful cables!

Improvement Notes:

Knitting is a constant learning process. These are my notes to help me grow and improve my skills - feel free to ignore, or learn with me!

The next time I make this scarf, I'm going to use a different bind-off. As one may see, I used the classic bind-off on this piece (right side of the scarf) and I don't like how it flattened the edge, instead of showing off the ribbing. In future, I intend to use a binding that can draw the ribbing out.
