UNTANGLING CABLES Intermediate

Have you ever wanted to knit a beautiful piece with cables, crossed, or traveling stitches? Here’s your class. In Untangling Cables, we will begin a washcloth with 3 different cables to give you a great start to creating cables in you knitting.

Students will be instructed on using a cable needle, holding stitches to front and back, and cabling without a needle.

Participants will receive pattern with chart and written instructions and important notes with helpful suggestions.
