Description

From the book: "This is an archaic form of Simple Cable, an "ancestral cable" as it were. Long ago all cables were worked on uneven stitches, the larger number of stitches being crossed in front and a smaller number behind. Today, most cables cross half-and-half, which gives a tighter twist to the cable. However, the Uneven Cable is interesting and a little different, for the very reason that it is so seldom used in modern times."
