Easy Cabled Arm Warmer #8

CABLED ARM WARMER- KNITTED FLAT

This is a great easy cable pattern. Great for a beginner knitter. It's a breeze for the advanced knitters. Made Flat. The cable pattern was created by http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cabled-fingerless-gloves-5

It's definitely a favorite of mine. I usually don't do other people's patterns because I like to make up my own but this one I had to do. I've never been able to find one that like. It's really pretty. Follow the link above.

Honeycomb Cabled Arm Warmer

HoneyComb Knitted Arm Warmer

$3.00

This is a knitted Honeycomb cabled arm warmer. This is a cable pattern that is good for a beginner. It’s a basic cable. The only difference with my other cable arm warmers is that you are using the cable 2 times back-to-back within the row. Cables are only in two out of every 8 rows and I only completed 44 rows for the length you see in the purple example. I did 1 more honeycomb on the tan one. All the stats below are for the purple. The underside is explained under the Pattern Heading but you can see a photo of it at the end of this PDF. To increase the size see instructions above row 1.

TIPS:
If you're new to knitting cables and you need some advice on the needle to use. I don’t use the cable needles you see in stores. That’s because I have never found a straight one. What I use is a blue “yarn needle” that is sold in just about every store. Another reason why I use it is because it’s not metal which can cause the stitches to slip right off. When I use the plastic kind I have no problems. Those stitches don’t more. So I guess I’m glad they don’t sell straight ones because I would never use it. Stitches need to stay on not slip off.

Another tip……When doing cables I only use circular needles. This way the when working with the cable needle I don’t have to worry about the left knitting needle falling down,  It's hard to keep everything in place with straight needed. When using circulars everything is connected. That's just my opinion if straight needles work for you by all means use them.

#3 Big & Little Cabled Rectangle

This is #3 Big and Little Cabled Stitch pattern

I would suggest this as a beginner cable pattern. You only have to use the cable needle 5 times in 52 rows. This was the first cable pattern I ever knitted. It's by far my favorite. I also used it in an arm warmer pattern below. Arm Warmer #1 in blue. CO is only 32 stitches. I used moss stitch on the outsides and reverse stockinette stitch in between the cables.

CN = Cable Needle

C8F (Row 9) = Slip 4 sts to CN and hold in front, then K4 from cable needle

C8B (Row 15) = Slip 4 sts, to CN and hold in back, then K3 P1 then P1K3 from cable needle
