SailingKnitter

The other day on Ravelry a knitter asked if somebody could find a pattern to match a photo she posted. It was really a very simple scarf with a cable (or two cables) running up the center. No pattern found.

So, I wrote up a pattern by reverse-engineering off of the photo. The result is Dos Cables En Uno Scarf (Two Cables into One). This narrow (6") scarf starts with 2x2 ribbing that is morphed into the two opposingly twisted cables which together makes what is known as a horseshoe cable. The difference here is that there is a stitch - or two - between the cables. Originally I thought it was just 1 reverse stockingette column, but now I'm thinking that two reverse stockinette stitches is a better option.

We're still getting prepared for our big sailing adventure to the Bay Islands of Honduras, perhaps Belize and Mexico and then over to Key West! This will be over many months. So far it is still a "go" for early December. The professional survey on the boat has been completed (no show-stopping issues found) which was the big unknown in our planning. The canvas guy is waiting for the special Tenara thread to repair a sail cover, and Jonesy has another dentist appointment tomorrow (yes, they work on Sundays here). We have sold our cherished fiberglass launcha (skiff) to be relinquished the day we leave. It has served us well here on the Rio Dulce in Guatemala.

Anyway here is the FREE KNITTING PATTERN for the version with the cables separated by 2 sts. Enjoy!
