Knit with Aabhar – Honeycomb Trellis Cable Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description

---

Honeycomb Trellis Cable Knitting Stitch Pattern, as the name suggests, is a visual arrangement of honeycomb-like motifs in a trellis format. The honeycomb motifs have sharp corners and a unique, oval shape. The ends of the honeycombs are linked together with two special stitches, namely, Twist 3 Back and Twist 3 Front (1/2 Right and 1/2 Left Purl Cross) stitches.

Honeycomb Trellis Cable is structurally similar to Tall Honeycomb Knitting Stitch but has wider honeycomb motifs.

This knitting stitch creates a highly textured fabric and so is an excellent choice for making panels in large projects such as blankets and afghans.
