Cable Knitting
Cable knitting is made by reordering stitches with a cable needle, creating a braided, three-dimensional pattern raised from the fabric surface.
Explanation
Cable knitting is created by temporarily moving a group of stitches onto a cable needle, holding them in front of or behind the work, knitting the next stitches from the main needle, and then knitting the stitches off the cable needle. This reorders the stitches and creates a braided, raised pattern with clear texture. Cables are often written with shorthand like '4/4 RC' indicating stitch count and direction. Cabled fabric naturally pulls in width, so extra stitches often need to be cast on.
