MAGIC CABLE PILLOW

Materials: 6-8 oz. Tamm Trenzi; Millor Trenzado; Mary Lue's 3/15; Yeoman's Cashmillon; You will also need a 15-16" Pillow Form
Tension: 8
Pattern: Any Magic Cable pattern that you prefer. (Select one that has the cable in the center) I used Cables 'N Bit - #902 and #904; There are several patterns in the Afghan Pattern that are perfect [#901; #902; #906; #904]

Cast on 93 sts [L47 - R46] with scrap yarn and knit 1 row with ravel cord. [COR]
RC000 - Set machine for pattern. Follow the directions in the pattern for making Magic Cables.
Knit to RC240. Hang last cable, knit 1 row. Change to stockinette and knit 1 more row. Scrap off.
Make a 2nd piece the same as above, but do not scrap off.
Right side of the 1st piece facing you, pick up and hang the 93 sts. on scrap on the same needles. [You will have 2 sts. on each needle]
Put all needles into HP except for the 3 sts. on the carriage [right] side of the bed. Set carriage to Hold knitting.
Knit The Worm Trim - Change to T6. Knit 8 rows over the 3 sts., *transfer these 3 sts. to the next 3 needles on the left, put them in WP and knit 8 rows.* Repeat * to * across all 93 sts.
After knitting 8 rows over the last set of 3 sts. transfer these sts. to the right side of the bed on needles R47-49.
Pick up and hang the side of the pillow [with wrong sides together] on needles L47 - R46. Move the 3 end sts. on the right to the 3 adjacent needles and continue to knit The Worm Trim above over all 93 needles. After knitting 8 rows over the last set of 3 sts. transfer these sts. to the right side of the bed on needles R47-49.
Pick up and hang the sts. on scrap [with wrong sides together] on needles L47 - R46. Move the 3 end sts. on the right to the 3 adjacent needles and continue to knit The Worm Trim above over all 93 needles. After knitting 8 rows over the last set of 3 sts., scrap them off.
Before closing in the side of the pillow, insert the pillow form and stuff down as far as possible so you can close the last side. [This is a good inner-thigh exercise, because you will have to use your knees to hold the pillow while closing the last side. Machine knitters learn to use ALL parts of the body whenever necessary.]
Pick up and hang the last side of the pillow [with wrong sides together] on needles L47 - R46. Rehang the 3 sts. on scrap on the right 3 needles and continue to knit The Worm Trim above over all 93 needles. After knitting 8 rows over the last set of 3 sts. pick up the bottom of the first 3 sts. where you began and hang them on the next 3 needles behind the latches. Transfer the last set of 3 that you just knit to the same needles, keeping them in front of the latches and pull them thru the first 3 sts. Break yarn and take these 3 sts. off on a tapestry needle and pull tail through all 3 sts. and tie in.
