If you haven’t knit cables before, this is a terrific set to get you started. Since the cable row is worked only every 10 rows and the pattern uses bulky yarn, you’ll have this hat and scarf finished in no time. The scarf is truly easy because it is worked flat. The hat is considered intermediate project, because it is knit in the round. However, it has no seams to stitch! Chances are excellent that you’re going to fall in love with knitting cables!
