Always knit the first and last 4 stitches of every row. This gives you garter stitch borders and it hangs nice and flat with no curling.
Now this scarf has a 10 stitch (5 and 5) center cable.
You knit the knits and purl the purls.
And every 5th row you do a cable always putting the first five stitches to the back, then knit the knits and purl the purls for 5 stitches, then put back the 5 stitches on the cable needle back on the left needle and knit the knits and purl the purls.
This concept will work with any number of stitches.
ROW1-4...... K4 / P1,K1,P1,K1,P1 / K1,P1,K1,P1,K1 / K4
ROW 5 K4 / SLIP 5 STITCHES TO CABLE NEEDLE TO BACK / P1,K1,P1,K1,P1, / THEN PUT THE 5 STITCHES BACK ON THE LEFT NEEDLE AND K1,P1,K1,P1,K1 / THEN K4
ROW 6-9........ K4 / K1,P1,K1,P1,K1 / P1,K1,P1,K1,P1 / K4
ROW 10 K4 / SLIP 5 STITCHES TO CABLE NEEDLE TO BACK / K1,P1,K1,P1,K1 / THEN PUT THE 5 STITCHES BACK ON THE LEFT NEEDLE AND P1,K1,P1,K1,P1, / THEN K4
I can't say I'm eager for cool weather but I certainly am ready!

Looks lovely. I'll give it a try. Thankyou!
what type of yarn/size needles did you use?
thanks!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing! I just discovered your blog and I'm so glad I did!
Ooh! That looks cozy! I've barely ever cabled.... that might be a good cable starter for me.
I love this pattern! I went to add it to my Ravelry projects but they don't have it in their database so it came up "personal pattern". In the notes section I stated it was from your site and gave the link. Thank You for a great pattern.
I used Blue Sky Cotton ( I believe the color is Cumin #605 it is the most amazing sick green color) and US size 8 needles
Lovely. I love cable too and want to try this one. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! I love this pattern and started working it today. I may be reading your instructions backwards but I couldn't make the concept of knitting the knits and purling the purls to work until I switched substituted row 10 for row 5 and vice versa (row 10 became row 5).
It's a great pattern -- Thanks!
Thanks for providing such a clear explanation ... ribbing is such a simple solution. Great post!
I just found this pattern, and tried it last night. I have to agree with a previous comment. It 'seems' rows 1-4 and 6-9 should be the same, AND the cable rows should be the same, but they are not. (Basically, just repeating rows 1-5). I'll try it as written one more time, and report back.
