Please note that this pattern contains special stitches and terms specific to the live loop crochet cables technique. I encourage you to read the instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with these special elements. While the pattern does not cover every detail of the technique, it provides you with all the necessary information and guidance to create your own beautiful square.

This pattern is worked in the round with “groups” of cable stitches which are created through the Live Loop Method.

Two colors of yarn are used in this pattern, with the CC carried along using the “carry along” method.

Materials:

Suggested yarn: Scheepjes Softfun yarn, DK (60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic, 153yrd /140m /50g).

You will need two colors of yarn.
MC: (About 229 yrd / 210 m / 2 skeins).
CC: (About 38 yrd / 35 m / 1 skein).

Yarn needle
32 stitch markers
US size D-4 (3,5mm) crochet hook or size that gives desired stitch quality.

For gauge, you can use any yarn you like, but I highly recommend using DK weight yarn for the best results. One key thing to keep in mind is to make the live loop cables rather loosely instead of too tight, as this will help maintain the texture and flexibility of the design.

Final width of the square: 10,6 inches / 27cm (May vary slightly depending on your crochet style).
