Tools:
Size 10 1/2, 20 inch circular needle
Set of size 10 1/2 DPNs
Tapestry needle
Stitch Marker
Yarn: Any bulky weight yarn. I used Joann sensations "Angel Hair"
Instructions:
This pattern is done in repeating patterns consisting of two rows. Row1 = R1 and Row2 = R2. It is also divided into Part1 & Part2. Each part has instructions that are independent of the other.
CO 102, place marker
Part 1:
R1: *P1, K the second stitch on the left needle. Leave this stitch on the needle and K the first stitch on the left needle. Drop both stitches off the needle. Rep from * to marker
R2: *P1, K2. Rep from * to marker
Hint: It helps if you write down what row you are on as it gets confusing after awhile.
Continue both rows of pattern until 7 inches long
Hint: you may want to switch to the DPNs at this point.
Part2 (the decrease):
Make sure marker falls AFTER a purl so that the FIRST part of the pattern you will work in this section is the raised mock-cable.
R1: * K2nd, K1st, Drop. P. K2nd, K1st, Drop. P4tog. K2nd, K1st, Drop. P4tog. Rep from * to marker.
Note: you may not finish a pattern on the R1s of this section. That is ok. If when you hit the marker, you are at a P4tog and don't have enough stitches BEFORE the marker,work over the marker and place it after the P4tog.
R2: *K2, P. Rep to marker
Repeat R1 and R2 3x. Repeat R1 for a 4th time.
Cut yarn, leaving about 10-12 inches of tail. Using your tapestry needle, thread the yarn through the remaining stitches and pull tight. Knot off.
I also added a flower and leaves. I used the American Beauty rose and garter stitch leaf found in "knitting over the edge". You can also find the pattern for the matching scarf in "Stitch N Bitch Nation".

P.S. I'm actively looking for a local Stitch 'n' Bitch group to join. I am having a very hard time with the videos - it took me days to master the easiest stitch. (and that's still the only one I can do) I think I'll do much better with some hands on help. Also - my Mom crochets, so I'm going to ask her to teach me how to crochet too. I'd like to do both.

I'm sorry your having so much trouble with the knitting. :( a SnB group would probubly be good for you then. If not, you can usually take a class at micheal's or AC Moore or something. However, they will most likely teach you the hard-on-the-hands continental way. :*

Drop is not an abbreviation. Drop is an action. The website below should teach you everything you need to know.http://www.knittinghelp.com/

Re: hey
Thank you! I've actually been working on a sweater coat for the last couple of years, so I haven't really finished anything new. I do have a double-knit scarf I'm working on, but it will be a little while (try 6 months or so) before its finished & I can post the pattern.Anonymous
