If you’re feeling intimidated by cable knitting and you’re not sure where to start, don’t be. The results might look impressive, but at its core, knitting cables is actually very easy. Basic cables are made by simply knitting stitches out of order to create twists in the fabric. As you knit, you place some stitches on hold at the front or back of the work, knit the next few stitches, then return to work the previous stitches. Variety is everything, so we’ve included a range of different cable knit patterns and techniques including braided, classic, and celtic cables.
