Staghorn Cable Swatch

Staghorn Cable Swatch

Another stitch pattern for what I’m calling my Crazy Swatch Quilt project is the Staghorn Cable from Barbara Walker’s first Treasury of Knitting Patterns.

(Yes, the cable flare does bug me, and I will probably re-knit this pattern before adding to the blanket.)

This one is in Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky color Daffodil Yellow. The yarn is ok to work with. I’m not a fan of acrylic yarns, but Paintbox comes in a bunch of colors.

Love this pattern, a couple of simple traveling knits merge and create the wide cable effect. Great pattern anywhere a large cable might be needed.

Enjoy!
