Knit with Aabhar – Diagonal Cable Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description

---

Diagonal Cable Stitch Pattern is a different type of cable knitting pattern where the embossed diagonal stitches are made using the Right Twist (RT) and Left Twist (LT) stitches. The diagonal cables are set on a background of garter stitches, creating a textured fabric.

Diagonal Cable Stitch is not a reversible knitting pattern, and it will look great in projects like blankets, shawls, and sweaters.
