Description

From the book: "This novel openwork cable is rarely seen, but it is so attractive and so easy to work that the reason for its rarity can only be that it is so little known. A panel is given, but the motif is easily converted into an all-over pattern by working it on a multiple of 6 sts plus 2 (2 purl sts between cables). When repeating across the fabric, it is a good idea to begin every alternate cable with Row 9, so that the crossings will be staggered. If desired, every other cable may be worked with a back cross instead of a front cross."
