Knit with Aabhar – Slipped Cable Rib Stitch

Pattern Description

---

Slipped Cable Rib Stitch is a fun slip-stitch knitting pattern resembling a classic cable pattern. This mock cable knitting pattern looks quite a bit similar to Downwards Claw Stitch.

If you aren’t a fan of conventional cables, Slipped Cable Rib is a good alternative. It’s a simple knitting pattern, and easy to memorize the 6 rows of instructions. Despite it involving dropping slipped stitches and then picking them back up, it is an easy task. It may seem complex, but the slipped stitches stay in place, and you can easily pick them up.

Slipped Cable Rib stitch knitting pattern will work in any type of project, be it a pullover or a home decor project like a pillow.
