I've been having a lot of fun recently knitting super chunky scarves. I wanted to do a simple cable pattern but couldn't find one I liked so I wrote up my own.
It's very quick and easy to knit. The pattern repeat is 6 rows long and you can make the scarf however long you want to.
Instructions are below or you can download a printable PDF version HERE.
Super Chunky Cable Scarf
You will need:
10mm knitting needles
A thick cable needle (or a wooden pencil sharp on both ends)
Abbreviations:
K knit

C6F place 3 stitches onto cable needle and hold in front of work, knit next 3 stitches then knit 3 stitches from cable needle.
P purl
C6F place 3 stitches onto cable needle and hold in front of work, knit next 3 stitches then knit 3 stitches from cable needle.
To make the scarf:
Cast on 18 stitches.
Row 1: K6, P6, K6.
Row 2: Knit to end.
Row 3: K6, P6, K6.
Row 4: Knit to end.
Row 5: K6, P6, K6.
Row 6: K6, C6F, K6.
These 6 rows
form the pattern. Repeat these 6 rows
until the scarf is the desired length.
End after row 3. Cast off. Weave in ends.

Thanks for posting this! It was nice and easy, I started this morning and I've just cast off and woven in my ends! I used three balls of Hobbycraft's Funky Chunky in purple, 100g each. I could have used an extra ball for my preferred length, but it's a little under 5 feet long I think, so pretty good!
Very nice post....
