Study Notes

Cable knitting is a technique where stitches are crossed to create textures and patterns in knitting. Stitches are transferred to a cable needle, safety pin, or fingers to be held while other stitches are knitted. Cable knitting produces a less flexible and denser fabric than typical knitting. Cables are done in stocking stitch and surrounded by reverse stocking stitch to make them stand out. Cable direction can have a left or right slant. Two cables should cross each other completely in a single row. Cables are often used to make braid patterns, such as the Celtic princess braid. Cable patterns can be invented by changing the number of cables, their separations, amplitudes, shapes, and relative positions. Cable textures include the deep honeycomb, Y-shape, and horseshoe crab patterns. Aran sweaters consist of panels of different cable patterns.
