Yarn and Needles: Verypink.com video tutorials. Learn to Knit Socks. Knitting Cable Stitches. Knitting Cables. The simple technique of cabling (crossing one group of stitches over another) lends itself to many interpretations in knitting.
It's easy to do, you can make all kinds of interesting and imaginative cable patterns. All it takes is a little patience and practice. You can make any kind of cable by suspending (holding) a number of stitches on a cable needle (cn) while you knit that same number of stitches from the LH needle. Then you knit the suspended stitches either by returning them to the LH needle and knitting them or by knitting them straight from the cable needle. This process of knitting stitches out of order enables you to cross stitches, creating cables. Standard or rope cables are the most basic cables. If you want to make a cable that looks like it's twisting to the left, you hold your suspended stitches in front of your work while you knit from the LH needle.If you want to make a cable that twists to the right, hold the suspended stitches in back.

They can be used to mark a certain number of stitches, the beginning of a round, where to make a particular stitch, and more. Patterns often call for stitch markers with the abbreviations “pm” (place marker) and “sm” (slip marker). It’s important to note that there are essentially two categories of stitch markers: closed and open (also known as split-ring). As the name implies, closed stitch markers feature one solid loop. While knitting, the stitch marker sits on the needle between active stitches. Closed stitch markers do not work with most crocheting techniques. Open or split-ring markers are incredibly versatile.
When knitting, these markers can be used on the needle (as with closed markers) or attached to particular stitches. Because they can be removed at any time, open stitch markers are perfect for attaching to crochet stitches. Knit Simple Magazine.
