From simple to sculptural, the original cable patterns explored in this must-have resource create a foundation of techniques for designing signature knitwear. Basic twisted stitches, complex interpretations of cables, reversible cables, adding texture and color, turning stitches around, constructing cables with I-cord, and wrapping stitches to create the illusion of cables are some of the integrated techniques detailed in this guide. Contained within are more than 15 original cable patterns for pullovers, jackets, bags, socks, and accessories. Also included is information on a new charting system for predicting cable behavior as well as tips on cabling without a cable needle, choosing the best yarns for specific cable effects, and designing original cable patterns.

Back loops of stitches. These knitters are better off using the row-below method that follows. Note that the “knit-based” rows (the rows that begin and end with k3) have a yarnover before the slipped stitch, but the “purl-based” rows (the rows that begin and end with p3) have a slipped stitch before the yarnover. This allows the yarnovers to loop above “their” respective stitches, almost mimicking the stitch rather than going off on their own as in an eyelet. Also note that yarnovers are worked.
Pass Slipped Stitch Over (sl 1, k1, psso) Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit the next stitch (Figure 1), then use the left needle tip to lift the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch and off the needle (Figure 2).
