Cable knitting has a long and rich history, allowing knitters to create stunning knits with real depth and movement. And the great thing about cabling is, if you can knit and purl, you can work a cable … cabling simply involves working stitches in a different order from the way they sit on your needles. If you’ve ever knitted standard cables though, you’ll know the fabric has a very definite wrong side. This is, of course, irrelevant for projects where you’ll only see the right side, like garments. But for knitted items where both sides will be on show — a scarf or shawl for instance — reversible cables are super handy!
