If you've been knitting for a while, you know that cables are one of those really popular techniques that look hard to do, but are actually pretty basic. But what if there was an easier, simpler, cuter, tinier way to make cables? Check out my new tutorial where I teach you a technique called the "right-twist," and then you can test it out yourself using this basic scarf pattern. :)

You will need- One skein of worsted weight yarn (I used red heart super saver in rose pink) One set of US8/5mm knitting needles Scissors A darning needle
Ok! Let's start!~ Step one: Cast on 40 sts. Row 1: (All Odd rows will be WS) Set up a K2P2 pattern Row 2: (All Even rows will be RS) Continue in K2P2 pattern Row 3: (WS) K2P2
Row 4: (RS) K2tog without pulling the stitches off your needle. Knit back into the first stitch, creating another stitch. Pull the original K2tog off of your needle. Congrats! You've made your first Right Twist! Purl the next two stitches, and continue in this pattern for the rest of the row.
Continue these 4 rows until your scarf is as long as you want. I worked it for 60". Work rows 1-3 one more time. Bind off in pattern. A simple, yet impressive project! :D
