Cozy Cable Scarf

November 15, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

Cable knit scarves are so fun to make, and I feel like they are warmer than other types of scarves because the twists capture the cold air before it can get to you. That’s probably not a real thing, but I’m going with it anyway.

This easy cable knit scarf pattern from A Box of Twine is a great one to try even if you’ve never knit cables before. Because it’s worked with super bulky yarn and big, size 13 US knitting needles (that’s 9 mm for the rest of you), it will knit up in no time and the cable has a fun graphic element. The tweed yarn the designer chose is a lot of fun with a cable pattern, too, but you can also use a solid color if you prefer.

Also those tassels are totally optional but also adorable.

The pattern is an easy repeat of 10 rows, and three rows of each repeat contain twists. That gives you lots of practice if you’ve never worked with cables before, and if you have, it’s a quick project that’s perfect for gift knitting to keep a loved one warm. Or make it for yourself or as a project for charity (I would leave off the tassels in that case for ease of care).

Get the free knitting pattern from A Box of Twine.

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
