Large Lacy Cables - blocked

Yarn: generic wool/acrylic blend 20%/80%
Wraps Per Inch: 10 wpi
Needles: 3mm aluminium (prym)
Gauge: 25 st and 34 rows to 10cm/4 inches in pattern (blocked)
Pattern: Large Lacy Cables
Stitch Count Repeat: Multiple of 30 stitches
Book: Charted Knitting Designs – A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns
Page: 146

Comments: Swatch is 2 repeats + 9 st (28cm) wide and 2 repeats (24cm) high. Requires a lot of blocking to enhance the eyelets in the pattern. The reverse has a lot of structural interest, see below. If the piece is left unblocked, the cables are more pronounced.

Comments: Swatch is 2 repeats wide by 2 repeats high. Gauge is only approximate because the number of stitches per repeat varies between 14 and 16 depending on the row being worked. The reverse side looks almost like it’s quilted (see below)
