Basic latticeEntry/Object ID
2020.1.461Description
From the book: "The cabled lattice is referred to as "basic" because so many other cable-stitch patterns are developed from it. The principle is simply that knit stitches are "traveled" diagonally across a ground of purl stitches, using the cable needle to move them along. Note that in this pattern the Back Knit Cross and Front Knit Cross may be omitted from Rows 1 and 9, instead working these rows in straight knit and purl stitches as Row 2. In this case the lattice does not cross or "weave", but forms alternating waves which create a pattern known as Hourglass. Another pleasing variation is made when all knit stitches on the right side are knitted through the back loops, thus being crossed."Collection
