Row 16: sel s, * k1, p1, k2, p1, k1– repeat from *, sel s.

Repeat Rows 1-16 as many times as needed.

Tips:

  • Practice the cable crossings on a small swatch before working into a large project to get comfortable with holding stitches on an extra needle.
  • Keep an even tension when slipping stitches to the cable needle—too tight and the crossing will look constricted; too loose and the cables will appear sloppy.
  • Blocking the finished piece can help open up the cable pattern and improve stitch definition.
  • Use the recommended 4 mm needles with the listed yarn for similar fabric density, or adjust needle size to match your preferred gauge.
