LEARN TO KNIT CABLES WITH AND WITHOUT A CABLE NEEDLE with Sari Nordlund
In this class we will cover the basic left and right cables with and without the cable needle and easy variations of the basic cables. We will also learn how to read basic charts and how to measure gauge over the cabled pattern. The course will also discuss fixing mistakes made in cable projects.
Required knowledge: basic knit and purl stitches, understanding the right and wrong side of knitting, knitting flat and in the round
Materials needed:
- small skeins of yarn for swatching. The yarns should be preferably DK or worsted weight, for example merino or other smooth fibers with good stitch definition in light, unicolor colorway so you can easily see your stitches
- needles suitable for the yarn, for example 3 mm or 3.5 mm needles. I suggest using 40 cm cables, but you can choose DPNs or longer cables, such as you are comfortable making swatches with
- a cable needle or an extra DPN in the same size or slightly smaller
