Foundation Chain:

• Begin by creating a slipknot.
• Crochet a chain of 19 stitches. This number is calculated as follows:
• 4 stitches on either side (for symmetry and border)
• 9 stitches for the cable pattern itself
• 2 additional chains for the turning chain

Row 1:

• Start from the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet (this counts as one double crochet plus the three skipped chains which act as another double crochet)
• Continue with one double crochet into each chain across until the end of the row.
• You should have 17 stitches by the end of this row.

Forming the Cable Pattern:

Row 2:

• Chain 1 and turn your work to start the next row.
• Work one double crochet into the first four stitches.
• Now, begin the cable pattern:
• Skip three stitches, then in the next three stitches, work a front post treble crochet around each stitch.
• Go back to the three skipped stitches and work a front post treble crochet around each, starting with the first skipped stitch (this creates the first “cable twist”).
• After the cable middle section, crochet one double crochet into each of the last four stitches.

Save

In Row 3:

• Chain 1, turn your work.
• Double crochet in the first four stitches.
• Work a back post double crochet around the next nine stitches (all part of the cable pattern) to form the back side of the cable.
• Complete the row with double crochet in the last four stitches.

Row 4 and Beyond:

• Continue by repeating the process, alternating the direction of your cable twists and maintaining the row structure. The sequence will involve skipping stitches, treble crochet, and simple double crochets.
• Maintain the side stitches of four double crochets each to frame the cable pattern.

Finishing the Scarf:

• Continue repeating the rows until you reach your desired length of the scarf.
• Ensure to finish on a pattern repeat that matches the start for symmetry.
• Cut your yarn, pull through the loop to secure and weave in end using the darning needle.
