 Cable patterns tend to "pull in," giving more stitches per width than stockinette, garter or seed stitch. Cables are usually made on a background of reverse stockinette stitch. You will need a cable needle. I have created knitting patterns with gauges for cable sweaters and cable cardigans in 6 sizes. |

Tips for my basic knitting patterns |
||||
|
1 First you knit your knitting swatch, if you want to knit in a
cable stitch pattern, knit your swatch with 1 or more cables,
2 then determine your gauge, now you can choose a knitting pattern with the right gauge, this way it will always fit, 3 no need for special yarns or needles size, you decide which yarn you use and which gauge you use, so easy.
