New Cable Designs
Simple ‘cross’ cables can form a multitude stitch patterns. From L-R: Quarrellous Cowl, Sea Waves Hat and Luxury Cup Cosies From the staghorn cable of the Quarrellous Cowl, to the plaited and wishbone cables of the Cable Mug Cosies and the wavy cable, reminiscent of an original 1940’s Golden Eagle Jumper knitting pattern, of the Sea Waves Hat, the cross back four/six and cross front four/six cables are some of knitting’s most versatile of stitches when combined. Along with knit and purl stitches like moss stitch and reverse stocking stitch, cables create richly textured fabrics that seem complex, but often, in reality they are simple to master and quite enjoyable to knit once a few repeats have been completed. The Sea Waves Hat and Quarrellous Cowl knitting patterns are available exclusively on the Smart Knit It app , a new online tool aimed at the beginner knitter aiming to digitise knitting patterns into an easy-to-understand and interactive format
