Knitted Cables
Cables consist of interlocking twists and turns that add great visual texture to your knitting projects and they're not as difficult as they look. Choose from a hat, cowl, or mittens — or do all three! These items are perfect for cooler weather. Make one for yourself, and once you've mastered the techniques, create handmade gifts for your friends and family.
