I love that cowl its so pretty. Where did you get the pattern from?

I did the mug cosy with a straight cable needle.
The cowl is knitted on big needles and has large cables, so I used a bent cable needle otherwise the loops slipped off the needle.

I've looked at how to do cable without a needle, but never tried it. I really thought cables would be hard - and I'm sure some are, but the basic ones are OK. I bought a magazine with a booklet about cables and it came with 2 free cable needles -Issue 55 of Knit Today. Its still available and I can recommend it.

Found the pattern on Ravelry and adapted it slightly

Not sure if the shaded wool works or not TBH

Thanks Orkneystar.
Its really warm and far easier to wear than a scarf.

Just finished this for my Grandson as he grew out of the last one

Not sure what it is as I got it reduced on a market with no band on.
Just altered things slightly as the biggest needles I had were 7.5 so tried it against the measurements. I didn't do as many repeats as the pattern (2 instead of 3) but it measures about 22".

Help with sock/mitten knitting please. I have never done anything other than jumpers/blankets/toys. This calls for 3 needles. Do I cast all the stitches on one needle and then divide them up? Maybe someone can point me in the direction of a good tutorial please?

Hello Everyone

I know there's lots of free patterns out there, but has anyone got a favourite knitted cot blanket pattern that they use often?

It's for a baby girl, thanks.
