Niiiiiice! Can't wait to try it.
I've been searching for this pattern for days!! Thank you, I love it!!!
This is a WONDERFUL pattern! I've searched for this pattern for months and I'm elated that you've posted one that is very clear and easy to follow. I cannot thank you enough! Happy Knitting! :-)
I love the look of this pattern but have a question. Did you start cabling right from Cast on row? Or is there a knit or purl row first?
Thank you!
I just started this pattern today and I am LOVING it! Great look, can't wait for it to be finished so I can wear it :) THANK YOU
I would like to try my hand at knitting these cables, but I am having trouble reading the pattern with white on red. When I try to copy the pattern to print it, I cannot get rid of the red background. Please help.

My suggestion would be to copy the text of the pattern and paste it into a Word document or to just Notepad and print from there. I just tested it and when you paste it the text is black with a white background.
Happy Holidays!
