Description

From the book: " Instead of being twisted in the usual way, the cabled stitches here are moved back and forth to form an embossed wave. Wave Cable is a popular Aran pattern, often used-along with its relative, the Chain Cable, in fisherman sweaters. When two Wave Cables are worked, one on either side of a common center, then one of the cables should be started with Row 1 and the other with Row 7, so that the "waves" will balance each other."
