Cable Stitch Knit Scarf

I love knitting cable stitch! It is easier than it looks. All you do is simply catch the knit stitches according to the pattern onto the cable needle and hold it either in the back or front then knit the stitches on the knitting needle, then knit the stitches you put on the cable needle. I find the knitted projects using cable stitch add elegance and a beautiful texture. 

Here is the pattern for this knit cable stitch scarf.

C2B = "Cable 2 Back" - slip 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in back of work, knit the next 2 stitches, then knit the 2 stitches from your cable needle.

C3F = "Cable 3 Front" - slip 3 stitches onto cable needle and hold in front of work, knit the next 3 stitches, then knit the 3 stitches from your cable needle.

C3B = "Cable 3 Back" - slip 3 stitches onto cable needle and hold in back of work, knit the next 3 stitches, then knit the 3 stitches from your cable needle.
