I've spent years with a scarf floating around in my head. A delicate cable knit that conjured the image of a thriving bee hive; a honeycomb.

It wasn't until recently that I actually had the time to get my needles out and finally create this pattern. And I have to say, it didn't disappoint!

I especially love the 3d effect of the right and left cables as the create the sweet honeycomb pattern. So thick and cozy!

While I made a scarf, this pattern can be expanded to whatever size you want with an 8 stitch repeat + 6 for the edge. So feel free to follow the pattern as is to create a beautiful scarf, or expand it for a baby blanket or lap quilt!

It really is a simple cable knit pattern that comes together quickly.

I started knitting it on a rainy day a few weeks ago and was able to finish a few rows before my attentions were needed elsewhere.

While my daytime knitting opportunities were slim, I was able to finish this project in just about a week of evening knitting time!

Most of the time I'm watching a show in the evenings to wind down before heading to bed, and I like to have something to do with my hands.

Knitting is the perfect TV watching activity!

Please note that since I live in Texas I don't have need of a long flowing scarf very often, so this scarf is the perfect length of warmer climates that occasionally have a cold day. I have knitted mine to 40-inches long, however the pattern is written to be adjustable to whatever length you prefer!

Don't let the cable stitches keep you away from this pattern, they are a lot easier than you think! This is a wonderful cable scarf pattern for knitters of all skill level!

    I am sort of a new knitter. My question is….Row 7…..Should it be LC and not LR?
    Maybe ………..I don’t know.
    Thanks

    I haven’t knitted in many years and even then I was never what you would call “proficient” but I’m tempted to pick it up again to have something to do with my hands while I homeschool.

    I need to buy some basics – I don’t have any needles etc. I really love the look of your wooden needles! Do you have a link to those? Or know what kind they are so I could order somewhere? Also do you have any introductory posts with basic tools I should buy or a “remember” post with translations of all the things in the pattern – a how to kind of thing?

      Hey friend! I don’t have an intro to knitting post published yet, but it’s been on the list for years! I should get that done! As for needles, I grabbed them from Hobby Lobby about 20 years ago. They are bamboo <3
