Irish Hiking Scarf

[Hazlecreek]

I finished this last week and really love how it turned out. It's my second attempt at cables, the first was a cell phone holder, and this one was much, much easier to make.

 

 

The cables are so easy, and look so hard, that I would suggest this as a first time cable project. The pattern is from Hello Yarn and is FREE! just the way we like it!!

Ooh, I have this one printed out, and am wondering if my BIL would like a scarf for Christmas for the third year in a row! He's so hard to shop for. Yours came out great! And cables aren't nearly as hard as they look, even I've done them and they looked like they were supposed to. Patty

I saved this one, I am not an advanced knitter by any stretch of the imagination, but I am going to have a knitting friend help me...I love it!! Thanks for sharing!

[AutumnWindsong]

That's lovely. I've done several with that exact pattern...and love it. I've also made it not as wide by doing only one or two rows of cables. I love the pattern no matter which is done.

Your scarf looks wonderful! I've seen that pattern, and I think I will try it when I'm ready to learn cables.

That is soooo beautiful!!! Great work!!

That's beautiful. I've had the pattern saved for a while. I'm hoping to dig it out soon. Yours came out great.

Looks perfect! I was afraid of the "complex" looking cables too...then I gave them a try on a small purse and realized just how easy they actually are!

Beautiful scarf!

 

I have made this pattern many times. It was my first cable project....it really isn't as hard as it looks. Give it a go...you will surprise yourself....really!

Fantastic job!!

[Hazlecreek]

Thank you everyone! I can't wait to make another one!

I have 2 skeins of Lorna's Laces in Red Rover that are just begging to be worked with.......it's a beautiful variegated yarn. Do you think it would work up alright in this pattern?

 

I'm heading to Montgomery to a ROTC Drill Meet tomorrow, and I'll need a project to take along, and I'm just not feeling the socks I started this week........

[Hazlecreek]

I think it would look wonderful in a variegated yarn. I looked around and found this scarf done in a variegated for you to see. http://mellskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/12/hat-and-scarf.html

I can't wait to see how it looks!

[CDBear]

Oh that's pretty!! Looks like I have my traveling project then!!

 

Thanks Hazlecreek!

[andiM]

Congrats looks fabulous.

 

I made one over the holidays in Vannas Choice Heatherd Purple. Turned out beautifully.

 

I am now making another one for a friend in Malabrigo V.A.A which is kind of a hunter green color.

 

A blogger friend of mine did hers in a Malabrigo varigated oceany blues color and it was fabulous also.

[Hazlecreek]

Thanks AndiM! I thought about making another one, but I found this pattern on Ravelry, also, and think I'll give this one a go. It's a reversible cable.

Has anyone made this? It looks just as easy, but would love to hear from anyone.

[tiggerhale]

Love it! - thanks for the pattern link too!

[purlwise]

That's gorgeous! What yarn did you use?

[disneypal]

I have been wanting to learn cables (the thought kind of scares me - LOL!) so I appreciate you suggesting this scarf. I like it because it is something you could give to a man (it is hard to find knitted projects to give as a gift to guy), but I think this would be suitable, plus it will give me a chance to learn cables.

 

I think after I finish the scarf I'm working on now (an illusion scarf) then I will give this a go.

[Melibean223]

that is beautiful i have a few to make for xmas this year so i love hearing people say the cables were easy lol =o)

[Hazlecreek]

That's gorgeous! What yarn did you use?

 

 

I used Bernats Softee Chunkey. I love how thick it turned out. You could use a reg WW yarn and have it look just as good!

 

Disneypal, this is perfect for a man.

 

Thanks again everyone!

[CDBear]

Well, I think this pattern is terrific!! I worked on it almost all day Saturday, and I have about 9" done. I can't believe I didn't try this sooner! Cables are MUCH easier to do than I thought!!!

 

Hubby has the camera at work, so I can't take a picture yet......hopefully, he'll remember to bring it home this afternoon.....

[Hazlecreek]

:cheer:cheer

 

I'm so glad that you like it!! I was so amazed when I worked it for the first time. I kept telling hubby to "look, can you believe just how easy it was" he just couldn't relate to my joy.

 

I can't wait to see how yours looks!

[Kiirs]

Ooh, it's gorgeous!!! I've seen this pattern before and you've made me go and print it off now. I'll have to move it to the top of my giant list of projects-in-waiting.

Did you all see that there is a hat pattern to match?? I found it on Ravelry. this is definately in my "To Do" pile!!
