Cables are a knitter's secret weapon. They look 10 times more complex than they really are and with the simple twist of a few stitches, they will take your knitting to a new level of beauty.
Join us for this one session course in grasping the basics of cables. Cables not only add texture to the surface of a piece, but each twist added increases the warmth of your piece as that fabric twists back on itself. This warmth factor makes this headband as practical as it is stylish.
