I started right into a cabled design after casting on - here's the cast-on end, sans blocking.
I realized that it would look nicer ending with ribbing instead of just letting the cables fall off the end. The pattern below is exactly what I did. If I did this again I would probably start with 5 rows of ribbing and then switch to the cable repeats to make the ends symettrical. It hardly matters, as the cast-on end doesn’t show when you button it up.
I would enjoy seeing other folks’ ideas for a neater transition from cable to rib, or just more variations on the Pidge Podge theme.
Cabled Pidge Podge:
Cast on 20 stitches.
Rows 1,3,5 (WS): p1, k1, [p4, k2] 2 times, p4, k1, p1
Row 2 (RS): k1, p1, [k4, p2] 2 times, k4, p1, k1
Row 4 (RS cable): k1, p1 [c4f, p2] 2 times, c4f, p1, k1
Row 6 (RS): repeat row 2
Repeat these 6 rows 11 more times, until work measures about 25 inches.
Repeat Row 1.
Ribbing:
Rows 1,3,5 (WS): p1, [k2, p2] 4 times, k2, p1
Rows 2, 4 (RS): k1, [p2, k2] 4 times, p2, k1
Bind off in pattern.
Enjoyed knitting this but the ribbing is very off at least in my case hopes this helps

ReplyDeleteI would like to easily print this off ...but when I highlight it and copy to word it has a grey shaded box around it. Is there a simple way to print this off to use without the computer in tow?
