Week # 8 - Honeycomb Cable Stitch



This week's stitch pattern is no more complicated than any of the others but there are a few more rows.

There are now 48 stitches on the needle. Remember the 5 garter stitch border stitches on each edge.
 

Row 1: (right side) Knit

Row 2: K2, * p2, k2; repeat from * to end.

Rep the last 2 rows once more.

Row5: K1, * C2F, C2B; rep from * to last st, k1.

C2F = knit into front of 2nd stitch on needle,

then knit first st. slipping both sts off needle

at the same time. 

C2B = knit into back of 2nd st on needle, then knit

first st. slipping both sts off needle at the same time.

Row 6: P2, * k2, p2; rep from * to end.

Row 7: Knit

Row 8: As 6th row. Repeat the last 2 rows once more.

Row 11: K1, * C2B, C2F; rep from  * to last st., k1

Row 12: As 2nd row.

Rep these 12 rows 3 times, then work Rows 1 and 2 again.




Work the separator section:

Knit  6 rows this time in garter stitch, decreasing 1 stitch (by knitting 2 stitches together) somewhere in the middle of the last row.  (47 stitches total)

  1. Stitch 7 was a wee bit challenging, but I did stick with it and it looks lovely. Worth the effort. Thanks.

  2. I just finished week #8 today!! I am loving the scarf - I am worried about running out of yarn! My fingers are crossed that I have enough.
