Current Project: Cable Scarf

I finished the red cable scarf for Jeff. He has yet to wear it. I made it specifically for Red Friday's so he'd have something else to wear to show his support for the soldiers. Here's the link to the pattern if you want to make your own.

Now I'm making a red scarf for myself. It's another basic pattern I made up. There's a little oops in it but you can't tell in the big scheme of things. I tried to darken the image so you could see the patterned X in it but the flash washes it out and no flash is blurry. Take my word for it that the patter is noticeable to the human eye.

Here it is if you want to follow along:

Cast on 30 stitches

Knit 1, Purl 1 for 8 rows.

Purl 1, Knit 1 ( 5 times). Knit to last five stitches. Purl 1, Knit 1 ( 5 times).
Knit 1, Purl 1 ( 5 times). Purl to last five stitches. Knit 1, Purl 1 ( 5 times).
Continue for 6 rows.

Here's cross pattern. After each row of pattern do a row of PKPKP purl across PKPKP.

PKPKPKKKKKKPKKKKKKPKKKKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKKKPPPKKKKPPPKKKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKKPPPPPKKPPPPPKKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKPPPPPPPPPPPPPPKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKKPPPPPPPPPPPPKKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKKKPPPPPPPPPPKKKKKPKPKP

PKPKPKKKKPPPPPKKPPPPPKKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKKKPPPKKKKPPPKKKKKPKPKP
PKPKPKKKKKKPKKKKKKPKKKKKKPKPKP

Repeat it intermittently with the above 6 row pattern.

Continue until desired length and finish with the same 8 rows you started with.
