May you live a long life,
Full of gladness and health;
With pockets full of gold,
As the least of your wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest,
Be those which come true;
The kindness you spread,
Keep returning to you.

-Irish Blessing

If this doesn’t call to the Irish in you, (at least in spirit, if not in blood, haha!) I don’t know what will. Delicate swirls and twists that form little four-pointed clovers make up this month’s stitch, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. If it looks rather complicated to manage, no worries, because it’s actually a fairly easy stitch to do! The cables are done by simply twisting two peg’s stitches at a time as you work through the rows. :)

Items Needed

Loom: Authentic Knitting Board Adjustable Hat Loom: 2 rounded pieces + 3 peg connectors, with pegs in all holes for a 3/8” gauge. The Sock Loom 2 or the All-n-One Loom could also be used.

Yarn: approx. 75 yards Worsted Weight (Sample uses Berroco Vintage in kiwi)

Notions: Loom tool, yarn needle, scissors. (Also helpful: cable needle, peg markers, row counter, and blocking pins)
