Free pattern: Celtic Cable Neckwarmer

Gauge: 4.5-5 stitches/in
Finished Size: about 4.5” x 21”
Materials:
1 skein of Frog Tree Merino Worsted, or about 130yds of worsted weight yarn
US #8 (5mm) needles
three 1 1/8” or 1 1/2” buttons
tapestry needle
matching thread (optional)
Celtic cable chart (PDF file)
Note: The green version is knit using Lamb's Pride Worsted, while the red version is Frog Tree Merino. I would recommend the Frog Tree because it's much softer. It's also important to use a yarn that you can block because the cables will cause it to curl--100% acrylic is *not* recommended.
Pattern:
CO 32 stitches.
Set up row: p2, (k4, p4) 3 times, k4, p2
Using the chart, knit the celtic cable pattern until you have knit 20” from the cast on row, ending with a WS row.
Continue in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1 across row) for 4 rows.
Buttonholes:
Row 1: K1, p1, k1, p1, k1, BO 4, (k1, p1, k1, p1, BO 4) 2 times, k1, p1, k1, p1
Row 2: (k1, p1) twice, k1, CO 4, (p1, k1) twice, p1, CO 4, (k1, p1) twice, k1, CO 4, (p1, k1) twice, p1
Continue in ribbing for 2 rows. BO all stitches in pattern. Weave in all ends.
Finishing:
I would recommend spray blocking—pin the garment to a surface and spray it with water until it’s very damp, especially on the edges. Let it dry completely before unpinning.
Sew on buttons using leftover yarn or matching thread.

Absolutely gorgeous - thank you for sharing! =)
That neck warmer is really cute. I keep seeing versions and I think yours suckered me in...
Now to finish the eight other projects first.....
HELP. I love the pattern but keep running into the same problem. I have ripped it out three times now. The right side keeps bunching up, and I can't figure out how to fix it. It seems as though the slip stiches on that side looks totaly different than the left. Any suggestions?
You can email me @ melodyk_schmidt@yahoo.com
