Cables are a great way to add accents and sophistication to a knitted project. Cabled accessories and garments are quite popular this season, just step into any clothing store and you’re bound to find inspiration for your next hand made project. Instead of buying that beautiful cabled scarf, try making your own! In the links below, you’ll see that cables can be added to practically any project for some extra texture and flair.

Cabled Cowl Simple Cable Cowl Cowls

A lot of people seem to enjoy a nice chunky seed stitch or garter stitch cowl, but take your cowl to the next level by incorporating cables.  The cowl on the far left is knit in Fishermen’s Wool and the Simple Cable Cowl to the right is knit in Martha Stewart CraftsTM Roving Wool.  Both are at an intermediate skill level.

Faux Cable Scarf Grey Cabled Scarf Scarves

Cable knit scarves are definitely popular this season, and if you’re more of a beginner knitter, you can whip up a “faux” cable scarf for a holiday gift.  The Faux Cable Scarf is knit in Wool Ease Thick & Quick to help your project move even faster.  If you have a more advanced skill set, you might want to try the Grey Cabled Scarf knit in Vanna’s Choice.

 

Cable Pattern Hat Lauren Hat Hats

Skip the plain beanie/cap this winter and have some fun with cabled hats.  The Cable Pattern Hat in Martha Stewart Crafts TM/MC Merino on the far left is for a more advanced knitter, but beginners can try their hand at it as well with the Lauren Hat in Vanna’s Choice.

We all love the traditional granny square afghan, but try a more modern look for your afghans with cables.  With a complex pattern, crochet border, and tassels on the bottom, the Erin Afghan is sure to impress!
