The Cable Warmer is a simple classic design perfect for men or women. The cable pattern is a very simple repeat, suitable for beginner knitters. The garter stitch top and bottom edge makes the warmer reversible so it possible to wear this warmer many different ways, straight up, folded over or doubled. It uses less than one ball of yarn for the body and a small amount of yarn for the contrasting cable. The Cable Warmer is a quick knit and a perfect take along project.
