Now that you have seen how you can
move stitches and cross them in your
knitting, you are ready to try some
other cable patterns.
Most instructions for cable knit
garments break down the various
stitch patterns and cable elements into
panels so that they’re easier to follow.
The following cable panels include
2 stitches in reverse stockinette stitch
on each side of the cable.
BRAIDED CABLE (12-STITCH PANEL)
This cable is easier to make than it looks.
1 Row 1 (RS—cable row): P2, slip the next 2 stitches to a cable needle and
hold at back, knit the next 2 stitches from the left needle, knit the 2 stitches
from the cable needle; repeat from to last 2 stitches, p2.
2 Row 2 (WS): K2, p8, k2.
3 Row 3 (cable row): P2, k2, slip the next 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold
at front, knit the next 2 stitches from the left needle, k2 stitches from the
cable needle, k2, p2.
