My Diamond Hill Loop Celtic Cable Knitting Pattern is inspired by the rugged terrain and hiking trails off the Western Coast of Ireland. This pattern can be knitted up to create a scarf or pillows. Attach multiple panels together to create blankets, afghans, and throws of any size desired. This gorgeous design is a fun project to knit up for St. Patrick’s Day and all year round. Find some quiet time for yourself, patiently knit the pattern row-by-row, and watch your Diamond Hill Loop Celtic Cable design emerge. If you love this pattern, you’ll love my entire collection of cable stitches, too.

- Irish Moss Stitch
- Mini Cable Ribbing
- 3-Rib All Knit Braids
- Reverse Stockinette Stitch

Color-Coded System
There are 5 different cable stitches in this pattern. I have created a color-coded system in both the written and chart patterns to easily discern the different cable stitches at a glance. Hope it helps!
