Everyone loves a cabled scarf, but nobody likes when the plain or bumpy reverse side shows. In this class explore ways to incorporate advanced cabling techniques on both sides of a scarf. We will start by combining cables with double knitting and color. Then we will look at how to work slipstitch cables over a garter stitch background.

Date/Time: Saturday, September 30, 2023 1:30-4:30 pm

• Worsted weight yarn (stash yarn is great)
• 2 - 50g balls of highly contrasting colors for the double-knit cable swatch
• 50g light, solid color for the slipstitch cable swatch.
• US 7 needles (or in the size you normally use for worsted weight yarn)
• US 5 needles (or two sizes smaller than you normally use for worsted weight yarn)
