What to make with the Cable Rib Stitch
The cable rib stitch is a fun variation on a simple 1x1 ribbing. You can use it anywhere
you would use a simple ribbing such as the cuffs and borders of a sweater, the border
of a hat, etc.
Unfortunately, this stitch is not reversible.
Before you Start

use straight needles. Confused about all these types of knitting needles? Here’s a
complete overview that will answer all your questions.

• Tapestry needle to weave in the ends
• Cable needle

You can easily adapt the size to your desired project size. The stitch is multiple of 4 +
3.

The gauge for this pattern, in stockinette stitch, is 23 st by 27 rows for a 10 cm by 10
cm square (4” by 4”).

Blocking and Assembly
You’re done with the knitting part. Make sure to weave in all the ends.
To make your stitch pattern even prettier and help straighten your edges block your
project lightly.
Don't skip this step as it can make a huge difference. Read my detailed tutorial on
why block, how-to, and all my tips and tricks if you need help.
