I saw a piece like this in one of the recent fashion magazines and knew I could design one myself. I worked out a different type of cable which is lots of fun to do once you get the hang of it. I knit this piece flat and joined the ends (instructions for a 3 needle bind off included) but you could just as easily knit it in the round (note: cables will be going in the opposite direction if you do that). This stylish fashion accessory is very versatile; wear it around your neck for a bit of warmth or pull it up over your head for extra comfort – either way you’ll look fabulous!
