This pattern turns a regular plaited cable into a reversible one by with some clever replacement techniques which add density to the work, making for a very warm garment. The reversibility means that there is no wrong side, and you can throw this around your neck any way you like, without having to worry about fixing it so that the pattern is to the front!

This project is deceptively easy to work up – in the eight-line repeat, just two rows require any attention; the rest are plain ribbing. The super bulky yarn gives your knitting wings, and this can really fly off the needles in an evening – perfect for last minute gifts.
