Abbreviations:

• CO: Cast On
• K: Knit
• P: Purl
• C6F: Slip 3 stitches to cable needle and hold in front, K3, then K3 from cable needle
• BO: Bind Off

Pattern:

1. CO 72 stitches onto your knitting needle.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): *K6, P6; repeat from * to end. This establishes your ribbing pattern.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P6, K6; repeat from * to end. This will create the reverse of your ribbing pattern.
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 4 more times (5 sets total). You should have a nice textured ribbing at this point.
5. Row 11: *C6F, P6; repeat from * to end. This introduces the cable stitch into your pattern.
6. Row 12: *P6, K6; repeat from * to end. This will set up for the next cable row.
7. Continue repeating Rows 1-12 until the piece measures approximately 36 inches in length, ensuring to end with Row 12.
8. BO all stitches. Make sure to do this loosely so that your edge remains flexible.
9. Fold the knitted piece in half with the right sides facing each other. This will form the pillow cover.
10. Using your tapestry needle, seam the sides together, leaving one side open for the pillow insert. Make sure to use a whip stitch or a similar method to ensure a sturdy seam.
11. Insert the pillow into the cover. Once the pillow is inside, seam the remaining side closed using the tapestry needle.
12. Weave in all ends to finish your project neatly.

Your Cozy Cable Knit Pillow is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and style it brings to your home.
