ok, as this is the first time ever formally writing a pattern, I apologize in advance for any mistakes! Please let me know if any of this is unclear and I will definitely try to revise!! Feedback is much appreciated :) :)I used 1 skein of Cascade Pastaza in White with size 10 needles, I encourage you to use whatever yarn and needle size suits your fancy - I just wanted this to knit up quick so I used relatively large needles! It's been great to add a little warmth to my early Spring wardrobe!!
CO 40 stitches - leave a long tail
Ribbing:
k2, *k4, p4* rpt to last 6, k6
k2, *p4, k4* rpt to last 6, p4, k2
Repeat these 2 rows until you have about an inch of 4x4 ribbing
Staghorn Cable (from Interweave Press Cables & Arans):
The actual cable stitch is centered and involves 16 stitches:
Foundation row (WS): purl
R1 (RS): k4, C4B, C4F, k4
R2, R4, R6: purl
R3: k2, C4B, k4, C4F, k2
R5: C4B, k8, C4F
Repeat rows 1-6 and on either side of the cable panel work 10 moss stitch and 2 reverse stockinette stitch until wrap reaches desired length
Repeat 1 inch of 4x4 ribbing as before
With a crochet hook, weave the long tail from beginning in a couple stiches and chain a button loop. Weave in ends and block. Sew button on opposite end from button loop.
and Voila!Abbreviations:
C4B = right leaning 4 stitch cable. slip two stitches onto cable needle, hold in back, knit 2, knit 2 off cable needle
C4F = left leaning 4 stitch cable. slip two stitches onto cable needle, hold in front, knit 2, knit 2 off cable needle
