Knit a Cable. Video Tutorials. Right-handed and left-handed knitting.
To knit a cable is easy. In order to knit a simple 2-strand cable a group (1, 2, 3, and sometimes more then 3) of stitches regularly changes places with other group of stitches. There are a few ways to make variations of a cable:
to change number of stitches in a strand
use 3 or more strands instead of 2 strands
to change the number of rows knitted between crossings
vary the length of different sections of a cable
use right or left-twist while you make a cable, and so on
There are two major techniques to make a cable twist:
With the aid of an additional needle. It can be a specially shaped cable needle, a double-pointed needle or just a large safety pin.
Without the aid of an additional needle. Cable knitting without an extra needle will make your cabling experience much more enjoyable. Not having that pesky cable needle you will easily visualize a cable pattern and your knitting process will be much more productive.
