Candle Flame Knitting Stitch | Knit with Aabhar
Pattern Description
Candle Flame knitting stitch is a cable knitting pattern featuring motifs that resemble its namesake. While there are many other knitting patterns with the same name, this one does not have any eyelets. It’s a well-knitted fabric, perfect for any winter wearable.
This Candle Flame knitting stitch is a relatively easier cable pattern as out of the 8 rows, only 4 are distinctive, others are simply repeats.
