Valentine’s Day is approaching and this cable crochet scarf pattern can be your go-to project.
It is called Chains of Love for the super simple chains that make the crochet cables style without the hard work.
You can call this a mock cable stitch. It is also called Jacob’s Ladder stitch.
Once you make your first crochet project using it, believe me, you won’t stop!
