Crossed stitches, otherwise known as cables, are one of those techniques in knitting that seemingly have no limits. We can make simple 2/2 crosses, intricate Celtic cables, and delicate 1/1 twists. Cables can be graphic with sharp angular lines, or romantic when paired with lace panels. When multiple cables occur within the same pattern—some with differing row repeats—they can be frustrating and daunting to follow. We're sharing our tips to avoid the cabled crazies: Stitching On Paper, Cable Knitting, Last Stitch, Bind Off, Graph Paper, Stockinette, Mirror Image, Selvedge, Lace Panelled

If you, like me, have a short knitting attention span, the Compass Points Pullover by Kephren Pritchett is the sweater knitting pattern for you. It’s knit from the top down, so you can try it on as you go. It’s made in super bulky merino yarn on size 11 needles. The gorgeous staghorn cable that runs up the body and sleeves is interesting enough to keep you engaged, but not so hard that you’ll just give up. This sweater will be done before you know it, just in time to wear all winter.

Here are our tips for preventing damage to cables, and repairing cables if they do get snagged or raveled. Crochet Projects, Knitting Stitches, Purl Stitch, Stitch Fix, Hand Crochet

The Greta Cardigan from knitscene Fall 2018 has stolen my heart. The cable excites, the stockinette soothes, and the pocket brings a smile to my face. My favorite element of this cardigan is the cable that emerges from the left front pocket and flows over the shoulder and down the back. But I also love the ribbing along the collar, the sleeves, and the hem—it makes the sweater flattering, adds visual interest throughout, and provides balance to the cable.
