The cables in this pattern are inspired by the stormy, snowy winds of a blizzard. The dual colours in the cable pattern is done using the stranded knitting technique and the repetition of a small cable chart makes this pattern look more intricate to knit up than it actually is. I hope you enjoy this pattern!
