Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn
• Needles: US size 13 (9 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on a multiple of 4 stitches. For example, you can cast on 32 stitches for a wider piece or 24 stitches for a narrower one. Ensure your cast-on is loose enough to allow for stretch.
2. Row 1 (Right Side):
   • Begin on the right side of your work.
   • *Knit 2 stitches (K2), then purl 2 stitches (P2); repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side):
   • Turn your work to the wrong side.
   • *Purl 2 stitches (P2), then knit 2 stitches (K2); repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Row 1 and Row 2 until your piece reaches the desired length. This creates the beautiful ribbed texture that resembles mock cables.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached your desired length, it’s time to bind off. To do this, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit another stitch and repeat this process until all stitches are bound off. Make sure to bind off loosely to maintain the elasticity of your piece.
6. Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last stitch to secure it. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle for a clean finish.
