Wide Spiral Cable Rib Knitting Stitch | Knit with Aabhar
Pattern Description
Wide Spiral Cable Rib Stitch is another mock cable ribbing pattern with small twisting cables in columns creating spirals. The mock cable is made with basically a variation of knit two together stitch (k2tog). Unlike the 1×1 cable, it is much easier once you get a hang of it.
Repeating every 4 rows, this knitting pattern can suit projects such as beanies, scarves, and even pullovers.
