Jojoland Double Cable Scarf Knitting Pattern

Jojoland Double Cable Knit Scarf

What Is Being Made

The Jojoland Double Cable is a knitted scarf designed by Lijuan Jing. This finished piece measures 46 inches long by 7.5 inches wide, making it a generous rectangular scarf suitable for everyday wear or as a thoughtful handmade gift. The scarf features a striking double cable pattern as its focal point, framed by a classic seed stitch edge that runs around all four sides.

Techniques Used

This scarf is worked flat on straight needles from cast-on to bind-off, making it an accessible project for knitters building their skills. The pattern employs cable knitting as its primary decorative technique, which involves crossing groups of stitches over one another to create textured, rope-like columns. The cables are worked using the slip-and-hold method: stitches are temporarily moved to a cable needle, held either to the back or front of the work, and then knitted in a specific sequence to form the twisted effect. The seed stitch edge provides a neat, reversible border that frames the cable work beautifully.

Stitches Used

The pattern incorporates fundamental knitting stitches combined with cable techniques:

• Knit (k) and purl (p) stitches form the foundation of the design
• Slip stitch (sl) used at the edge of rows for a finished appearance
• T2B (Twist 2 Back): A two-stitch cable twist created by slipping one stitch to a cable needle, holding it to the back, knitting the next stitch, then purling the stitch from the cable needle
• T2F (Twist 2 Front): A two-stitch cable twist created by slipping one stitch to a cable needle, holding it to the front, purling the next stitch, then knitting the stitch from the cable needle
• C6B (Cable 6 Back): A six-stitch cable cross created by slipping three stitches to a cable needle, holding to the back, knitting the next three stitches, then knitting the three stitches from the cable needle
• Seed stitch (alternating knit and purl in offset rows) for the edge borders

Pattern Structure

The scarf begins with an 8-row edge section worked in seed stitch to establish a neat foundation. The main body follows an 8-row repeat pattern that is worked 32 times, creating the double cable motif. After completing the body repeats, the edge stitch pattern is repeated once more to finish the top of the scarf, then all stitches are bound off and ends are woven in for a polished finish.

Materials and Tools

This project requires 3 balls of Jojoland Rhythm yarn, a 100% wool yarn with 110 yards per ball, providing approximately 330 yards total yardage. The sample shown in the pattern was created using color RS09. Knitters will need U.S. size 7 (4.5 mm) needles to achieve the correct gauge. The recommended gauge is 6 stitches by 5.7 rows per 1-inch square, which helps ensure the finished scarf meets the intended dimensions.

Skill Level

This pattern is rated as Easy, making it suitable for knitters who have mastered basic knit and purl stitches and are ready to explore cable techniques. The straightforward stitch repeats and worked-flat construction keep the project manageable while introducing the satisfying complexity of cable work.
