The Celtic Cable Stitch.
Hi, Guys!
I'm Kristen and welcome to Studio Knit.
Today, we are knitting up this Celtic Cable Knit Stitch Pattern.
This intricate design in a beautiful Irish Saxon Braid and it's perfect for the upcoming
St. Patrick's Day holiday.
For our materials, if you chose, you can use a cable needle.
They seem to slip out of my work, so I am going use this double pointed needle and I
painted it pink on either side to help you differentiate it from my regular knitting
needles.
In this example I'm using size 7 and you can use any size needle for your yarn weight.
And isn't this so pretty for St. Patrick's Day?
This is a Malabrigo.
If you're interested, I have a link on where you can purchase it down below.
I'm going to provide you with a pattern that I created.
In this color-coded system and I'm going to give you an overview of what everything means.
Now, before heading over to my website to get the pattern, I do encourage you to stick
around just a little bit longer so I can show you quickly what the six different stitches
are in the cabling of this gorgeous design.
You can get really creative with this pattern.
For example, I created this really cute little coffee mug cozy.
I also have some great St. Patrick's Day DIY and craft projects.
I will link that playlist down in the description below.
And if you're excited to do some cable knit stitching, go ahead and like up this video
and let me know that you'd like to see more.
We start with our beloved slip knot.
We're going to focus on the Cable Stitch Pattern itself and that is casting on 24 stitches.
Now let's take a look at the 6 different cable knitting stitches to achieve our pattern.
We begin with C4B and I have this color coded in red on the pattern.
C4B means Cable 4 Back, so what we're doing is we are slipping 2 stitches onto our cable
needle and we are going to hold that cable needle to the back.
Now we begin by knitting 2 from our main knitting needle
and then we finish it up by knitting 2 from the cable needle.
Next is C4F, now that is in the color orange and it's very similar to what we just did.
We are slipping 2 stitches onto our cable needle, but we're going to hold it to the
front of our work.
Now, we begin by knitting 2 from our main knitting needle and now we finish it by knitting
2 from the cable needle.
As you remember, I painted the cable needle pink so that it looks a little bit different
than our regular knitting needle, so you can follow along.
The next is CR3B, slipping one stitch and holding it to the back of the work.
Now it's knitting 2 stitches from our main knitting needle and then are purling 1 stitch
from the cable needle that we were holding back.
Okay, I think you're getting the hang of this.
So, here we are in green, it's CL3F.
We slip 2 stitches and we hold them to the front of our work.
Now, we purl 1 stitch from our main knitting needle and then we knit 2 stitches from the
Cable Needle.
Here in blue is CR4B, it means it's 4 stitches and we're holding it to the back, so what
we're going to do is we slip 2 stitches onto our cable needle and we hold it to the back
of our work.
Now, we knit 2 stitches from our main needle and then we purl 2 stitches from our cable
needle.
Okay, last one.
So, here in purple it's CL4F.
We slip 2 stitches and we hold our cable needle to the front of our work.
Now we're going to purl 2 stitches from our main knitting needle.
And then we finish it up by knitting 2 from the cable needle.
So, my hope is that reviewing these 6 stitches here in this video is going to help wrap your
brain around the pattern a little bit better.
The only other instructions that you need to look out for in the pattern.
We have Knits and Purls and then right here where you see 2x or 3x, that means two times
or three times, so when you see it in the parentheses, you will be knitting that little
bit either 2 times or 3 times.
Pretty simple.
So, I have a link to this pattern down in the description below.
It both is on my website, on the website page itself.
I also will have a link to a printable PDF if you'd like to use that, which I definitely
do because it helps me sort of tick off each row with a pen as go along.
So, if you'd like to do that I think it will come in really handy.
I also want to point you over to my Pinterest page where I have all of my knit stitch patterns
and those are available to pin as well.
So, I hope you are inspired to knit up this beautiful Celtic Cable Knit stitch pattern.
