Serpentine Knit Cabled Arm Warmer
$3.00
This is a very easy arm warmer even if you haven't made a cable pattern
before. It’s truly a 3D pattern. It's really fun to make. You don't have to be an expert to knit cables. It's the first thing I tried after learning all the basics. This arm warmer, along with all my other warmers, this is made flat and not with circulars. There are detailed instructions on how to sew the sides together if you purchase the pattern.
Tips:
If you're new to knitting cables....I don't use the cable needles you see in stores. There are a couple of reasons. I've never found a straight one. What I use is a blue yarn needle that is sold in just about every store. If you were to use a straight metal yarn needle the stitches would fall right off. When I use the plastic kind I have no problems. They do sell the metal cable needles that look like wings and a hook. I can't hold them properly and they get caught on the yarn. Find what works best for you.
To create this pattern I completed rows (1 to 12) 4 times, then finished with
rows 1-8. You can make it as long as you wish without interrupting the design.
The underside is all stockinette stitch except for a purl stitch at the beginning
and end of each row (RS). To make it easy to sew the sides together.

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.
