Elegant Cable Throw
Design by Jamie Swiatek
PATTERN NOTES
Throw is crocheted vertically across from side edge to opposite side edge. Five pattern stitches are used: Cable, Pebble, Arrow, Celtic Weave and Diamond Trellis. The pattern stitches are separated by Front Vertical Ridges. Follow Placement Diagram for placement of Pattern Stitches. Weave in loose ends as work progresses. Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated. Chain-3 at beginning of row or round counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated. Chain-2 at beginning of row or round counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated.
