Cable Rope

Start with your Worsted weight yarn & Crochethook J/10(UK)-4(US)

Row 1: Ch20 – slst together – Ch3 – 1dc in each ch – end with slst

Step 1: Ch3 (Counts as first DC) – tyw;
Step 2: Skip 3 stitches & work 3 Front Post Treble Crochet (FPTC) in each following 3 stitches;
Step 3: Yarn over twice – go back to the 1st of the 3 skipped st (From the Front of your trebles) – and work 1 FPTC in the 1st skipped st – the 2nd FPTC in the 2nd skipped stitch – And the 3th FPTC in the 3th skipped stitch;
Step 4: 3 fpdc in the next 3 stitches;
Step 5: 1dc;
Step 6: Rep. Step 2 – 3 & 4;
Step 7: Finish with a slst in the 3th ch from your Ch3 (1st dc)

Row 3: Ch3 – tyw – 9bpdc – 1dc – 9bpdc – End with slst.

Row 4:
Step 1: Ch3 (Counts as first DC) – tyw;
Step 2: Work 1 fpdc in each following 3 stitches;
Step 3: Skip 3 stitches & work 3 fptc in each following three stitches;
Step 4: Yarn over twice – go back to the first of the three skipped stitches (From the back of your trebles) – insert your hook trough the “hole” – and work 1 FPTC in the 1st skipped st – the 2nd FPTC in the 2nd skipped st – And the 3th FPTC in the 3th skipped st; (For a more detailed explanation see the “Six Stitch Cable Crochet” Photo tutorial)
Step 5: 1dc
Step 6: Rep. Step 2 – 3 & 4;
Step 7: Finish with a slst in the 3th ch from your Ch3 (1st dc)

Row 5: Ch3 – tyw – 9bpdc – 1dc – 9bpdc – End with slst.

Rep row 2 to 5 till you’ve got the length that fits around the body, see the rotating arrows in picture below:

Sew the beginning & end together from the inside out. (Do not turn your work inside out)

Turn your work (The Body) to the wrong side & start sewing the Tch from the cable rope around the edge of the body (see circle arrows in picture above) at the BOTTOM of your shrug, as a border on the shrug.

Fasten of with a slst & sew in all ends.
