Knit with Aabhar – Mock Cable Rib Stitch

Pattern Description

---

Mock Cable Rib Stitch is one of the easiest mock rib knitting patterns that are ideal for beginner knitters. It’s a complex, intricate, yet elegant-looking pattern that’s easy to knit and isn’t too challenging. Because of the repeating columns of LT (Left Twist) stitches, it gives the knitted fabric a ribbed appearance and texture.

The Mock Cable Rib Stitch knitting pattern creates a fabric that is quite flexible, making it perfect to knit scarves, blankets, or even a pullover.
