Cable scarf

Viraja Bhandarkar Aruna Acharya  in the Fb page of https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionateabtfibrearts/ shared  a pattern of knitting a simple cabled scarf  from the blog http://knottoohard.blogspot.in/2010/11/simple-cable-scarf.html. Inspired from it I made some changes in the pattern and completed it. It is 7 inches wide n 30 inches in length. The original pattern has been done in st.stitch [ one row knit n one row purl] I used a basket weave st. I always add 2 sts at the beginning and the end as this will be my selvage sts

I always use some waste yarns as stitch markers to identify the stitches 

stitch markers help us when we have to alter the sts [pattern]

Take a cable needle and insert it on your LH needle and place it on the cable needle

second stitch on to the cable needle

third st on to the cable needle

hold the cable needle with sts in front of the work

now  the needles held will look like this

now insert the RH needle to the LH needle  and knit 3 sts from the LH needle

knit all the three sts from the LH needle and it will look like in the below pic

now insert the RH needle to the cable needle

knit the first st from the cable needle

knit the 2 nd st from the cable needle

when you knit the 3 rd stitch from the cable it will look like 

after knitting the 3 sts from cable needle place a marker and follow the pattern

now complete the pattern as per your desired length.
