Lang PTO30-09 Frida Scarf: Cable Knit Design
What Is Being Made
The Lang PTO30-09 Frida Scarf is a sophisticated cable-knit accessory measuring approximately 12" × 76¾" (30 × 195 cm). This is a classic oblong scarf design suitable for everyday wear and styled with elegant cable work throughout.
Construction Method
This scarf is worked bottom-up using a seamless, flat construction. The piece is knitted flat on straight needles rather than in the round, allowing for a traditional scarf shape with clean, finished edges. The bottom-up approach means you begin at one end and work toward the opposite end, building the length progressively.
Cable Techniques and Stitches
The Frida Scarf features multiple cable stitch variations that create visual interest and texture:
- Three-stitch cable crosses worked with a cable needle, creating twisted rope-like columns of stitches
- Purl and knit combinations used strategically to frame and define cable motifs
- Cable needle techniques including stitches placed in front and behind the working yarn to achieve different directional twists
- Repeat pattern based on a 22-stitch repeat that cycles throughout the scarf length, ensuring consistent cable placement
The pattern employs standard knit (k) and purl (p) stitches as foundational elements, with cable crosses executed by temporarily holding stitches on a cable needle while working subsequent stitches, then returning to the held stitches to complete the cross.
Materials and Tools
This pattern calls for LANGYARNS FRIDA yarn, an extra-fine merino wool blend that is superwash-treated and mulesing-free. You will need 400 grams total, equivalent to 4 balls in pink-violet colorway 1078.0003. The recommended needles are ADDI knitting needles in US 6 (4mm), which provide the appropriate gauge for working with this yarn weight and achieving the intended fabric drape and cable definition.
Pattern Overview
The pattern is presented in a multi-language format including German, French, Dutch, English, and Danish instructions. The cable chart uses standard knitting symbols with a 22-stitch horizontal repeat, allowing knitters to follow the pattern systematically across rows. The merino yarn choice provides softness and warmth while maintaining the crisp stitch definition necessary for showcasing cable work.
