Written and Charted Pattern Instructions
8.5" x 11"
Skill Level: Intermediate, for knitters comfortable with cables.
I have created a color-coded system in both the written and chart patterns to easily discern the 6 different cable stitches at a glance. Knitters have told me they love it and I hope it helps you cable knit, too!
Other basic stitches: Slip Knot, Cast On long-tail method, Knit Stitch, Purl Stitch
Scarf Size and Dimensions
The finished scarf size is 72″ x 7″ blocked.
Knitting Gauge
Cable Heart Pattern Blocked 4″ x 4″ Gauge Swatch: 14 sts x 13 rows
Scarf Construction
The knitted scarf is created from the bottom up on straight needles using a cable needle, too. This cable stitch is not a reversible pattern, so the heart motif is only visible on the right side of your work. However, the wrong side looks pretty, too, with a smooth Stockinette design of its own.
Cable Repeats
This pattern consists of 24 cast-on stitches in 10-row repeats using 6 different cable stitches to create this beautifully detailed design.

Love this heart pattern scarf. Once I figured out what I was doing. This is my first time doing cable work. I'm make the scarf for my daughter in law for Christmas this year. This is one of the new skills I wanted to learn this year. Here is a picture of the start of my scarf. So thanks so much for this opportunity and a beautiful pattern. The purple and green one is the one I'm making for my daughter. She picked the colors. The other one is the one I was practicing on.
Pattern is easy to follow.. the color codes are great! This is only my second attempt at cables and it made it easy!
Very cute pattern. It goes very quickly.
I have not been able to work the project yet but think the world of the directions. Well designed chart which is always a challenge and this comes from a knitting instructor. Lots of people can knit well. Publishing an accurate and repeatable pattern is not nearly as common and this pattern is in that category.
Beautiful pattern clear and easy to follow. Definitely recommend
