Faux Cable Collection: Soaker

 

Welcome! Ready for something fancy? With four customizable sizes, the Faux Cable Soaker Pattern provides you with a decorative yet highly functional soaker. Under clothes, or out and about, this one is really something to show off. The faux cable stitch pattern is deceptively easy, using increases and decreases for a cabled look, never a cable needle. It knits up quickly in Peace Fleece. Stretch your skills by learning to graft in pattern, or use a three needle bind off for a simple seam.
