ANTHROPOLOGIE INSPIRED CABLE KNIT ASCOT

Measurements:

 Approximately 35" x 6" - Length is adjustable with more or less cable repeats

Materials:

 2 skeins of Cascade Yarns 128 Superwash (100% Superwash Merino Wool. 128 yards
per skein). I used much less than half of the second skein, so any bulky weight yarn of
about 180 yards will do.
 Size 10 needles. I didn't check for gauge and I don't think it will make much of a
difference.
 Stitch markers
 Cable needle
 Stitch holder
 Tapestry needle

Special Abbreviations:

KFB = knit front and back increase

MB = Make Bobble - knit front and back 3 times in one stitch (makes 6 stitches); turn work, purl 6;
turn work, knit 6; turn work, knit two together 3 times; turn work, knit three together

MCF = Make Cable to the Front = slip four stitches on cable needle and hold to the front of your
work, knit four stitches, knit four stitches from cable needle
