This is a great cabling piece for those improving their
cabling skills. Once the cabling pattern is set, it will be a simple repeat. You will see the design also has elements of reverse stocking stitch - this is simply using what is tradition- ally the wrong side as the right side - and has the look of a very tight garter stitch.
