This simple tech-nique of Crossing

stitches is the basis for textured patteras with a lot of depth. The cables fomied this way can be worked in indi\idually or distributed over the sweater or cardigan in different combinations. such as in Aran Isle knitting.

Cable patterns Unik besr ił they are worked with smooih yarn or wool. Notę that design* with cabtc patterns requlre morę yarn. sińce cables conrracr in width.

Yihi also have to rake that into account w hen you bind off. To keep front having coo much width at the shouldcrs and slecves, knit Z stitches together >evcral times as you bind off, or bind oft’ by knitting stitches together (see also pages 45-44).

If you want to make a sweater wirh different kind* of cable, you havo to make a sample gauge tor each oł rhcse cables using the otigińid yarn.

Ił you are a littlc short of the desired sweater width, you can add smali or large secd stitch (see page 30) or narrow cables.

Some of the stitches that form the cable are placed on a cable necdlc in front of or behind the work. You then work rhe indicated number or stitches hcforc continumg with the stitches front the cable needle.

The exumples on page 133 show you how to work rhe cable stitche>. Each cable is madę up oł 6 stitches. These stitches are knit on rhe right side of the work. purlcd on the wrong side of tlte work—in orher words, worked in stockinettc stitch. Tlie cables stand out cven morę ił yiHt work a few stitches oł rcverse stockinettc stitch on boih sides of them. The number oł rows berwcen cuble crossings can bc v.iricd howevor you want; rhe cables shown on page 133 were crosscd cvcry sixth row.

Simple cables (top) crossecł just lo the right, alternately to the right and the left, or just to the left. Plait cables (bottom) are a combination of stitches crossed to the right and left.
