Leslie's {Belated} Birthday Pillow

All I needed was an excuse to learn how to knit cables, on something less intimidating than a sweater, for my first time project.

Leslie found the inspiration here and then posted it on her wish list.

I found the pattern HERE that I actually ended up using.

Here's how it looked at my house.

________________________
Details: (mostly just for my memory)

For 14" square pillow

Lion Brand® Jiffy in Dark Grey Heather--3 balls

Size 10 1/2 US needles

Cast on 60--adjusting beginning and ending stitches from 6 to 9: i.e.  P6 to P9

Repeated pattern 3 1/2 times--70 rows

Made 2 pieces for back to overlap and be able to insert pillow like envelope.

I might just be hooked on cables now.  They really are EASY once you know how to read the instructions.

I'm now thinking about this pattern as a possibility to make for my LR couch--maybe in green.

I'm linking to Fabric Tuesday at Quilt Story today.
