Teach yourself a new stitchy technique in the form of cables if you are looking for a new challenge.

There are so many cable stitches available from the easy C4F knitting (cable 4 forward) and C4B (cable 4 back) to more complicated designs like the Celtic plait.

Cable knit blanket

One of my most loved patterns is the chunky cable knit blanket.

This is knit with two strands of super bulky yarn on size 25mm (US 50) knitting needles.

It knits up faster than most blankets and will be sure to keep you cozy!

  1. I am really loving your arm warmers! I am curious as to when and how you wear them? I think the Castle Leoch ones are my favourite. I’m just not sure what you wear them with? I also love the shrug too, but (again), I don’t understand what or how and when you wear something like that. All your designs are beautiful!

    1. Hello Colleen,
      I think many people wear them in fall and in the spring when it’s chilly – to drive, type, or just as a fashion statement!
      The shrug could also be worn over a long-sleeved shirt on a chilly day – for walks with your dog or while working from home.
      I think there are lots of ways you can wear them.
      This would be a great question for the Handy Little Me Facebook group – I bet lots of makers could answer this for you and give you more ideas!
      I hope that helps!

  2. Hello, I want to buy your chunky cable knot pattern but I am confused as to what kind of needles that I need for this pattern, you said that you used US 36 needle as your cable needle, then you said that if you have a US 50 straight needle you can use that for the cables. I am a basic knitter & do not understand, Do I need ti purchase different size needles to make the cables?

    1. Hello Susan,
      I did not have a cable needle this large, so used a 20mm (US 36) needle as my cable needle.
      If you have a 25mm (US 50) straight needle – I would recommend using that for the cables.
      It is difficult to get a US 50-size cable needle.
      I hope that helps,
      Louise
