Cables are a fantastic way to add depth, texture, and visual interest to your knitting. Twisted stitch cables, in particular, offer a captivating twist to the traditional cable design.
You can create very attractive, delicate cables by twisting the stitch in single cross cables. This creates a very defined stitch that really pops out from your work.
