Description: A good beginner knitted cables technique is the 2 over 2, left cable. To get started get your yarn, knitting needles and a Cable Needle (CN) and Lee Meredith will guide you through this knitting skill. The steps for these 2-over-2 cables also apply to any numbers of stitches. For Left Cables, the first set of stitches goes in front, the second set in back, so the four stitches will twist with the first 2 going to the left up over the next 2. Slip the first set of stitches (front stitches) to the cable needle, and let the needle drop to the front. Work the next set of stitches (back stitches) from the knitting needle. Pick up the cable needle, and hold it up to knit the stitches from it. Knit across the (front) stitches from the cable needle. The stitches have flipped places; the second stitches now to the right, the first stitches twisted in front to the left. On the next row, work across those stitches normally. The swatch in this tutorial is based on the Coho Cowl by Allison Griffith - For more cable learning, head to: knitpicks.com/learning-center/knit-bits-learn-to-cable For more cables tutorials: knitpicks.com/learning-center/videos/cable-tutorials Discover more knitting patterns at knitpicks.com/patterns/knitting_patterns.html This tutorial series was filmed following the CDC Covid-19 Safety Guidelines.
