Double cable or horseshoe cableEntry/Object ID
2020.1.408Description
From the book: "Just as in Simple Cables, many alterations in the appearance of a Double Cable may be made by varying the number of rows between cabling rows and the number of stitches composing the cable. The only limitation is that each cable must be made up of a number of stitches divisible by four, so that even crossings can be made on either side. There are two ways of cabling: (1) a back cross first and a front cross second, which opens the cable outward from the center; and (2) a front cross first and a back cross second, which closes the cable toward the center (Reverse Double Cable)."Collection
