With this pattern, there’s no need for any
tools apart from your knitting needles –
you create the cable texture by twisting
the stitches over one another by knitting
the second stitch on your left-hand
needle before the first. We’ve opted to
work this one in silver to make the pattern
pop, but Charcoal would give you a more
subtle finish, or pick cream for that classic
cable look.Start knitting...
