The Honeycomb Cable Pattern!
Hi guys I'm Kristen and today we are
knitting up this vintage honeycomb cable knit stitch pattern it looks really
intricate to knit but it's actually quite simple
I consider this an easy level project because it is perfect for everyone who
is ready to learn how to cable who already knows how to knit and purl with
an easy knitting repeat of just eight rows that are really simple to memorize you
can create this beautiful and modern looking pattern and I love looking at
the inside of the honeycomb pattern right here
what I want to show you this is what the wrong or the backside of the honeycomb
cable pattern looks like so this is not a reversible pattern it definitely has a
distinct right and wrong side to it for the complete written pattern everything
is on my website I have that link down below so make sure to check that out you
also can pin this pattern on Pinterest to save it for later and I'm also
working on creating the pattern for this easy ear warmer headband also a little
simple one row hairband as well it makes a great gift so make sure you are
subscribed here on YouTube to studio knit so that you'll catch that as soon
as it comes out and for our materials it's a knit stitch pattern so feel free
to use any weight yarn and appropriate size knitting needles for your project
you'll also want a little cable needle for our cabling as well as scissors and
a tapestry needle and I just want to point out for my cable needle I'm just
using a little double pointed needle here that I painted so that it'll be
easy for you to differentiate my cable needle from my regular knitting needles
once we get started on that and if you like the way that this pattern is
knitting up then I have the exact materials link down below where you can
purchase this yarn as well casting on so to begin we create our
beloved Slip Knot and then using the longtail cast on method and I have all
the techniques linked down below we are casting on in multiples of eight
stitches so I'm casting on eight and then I'm continuing to cast on as many
stitches as I'd like in multiples of eight and in this sample
I'm using five multiples of eight so what does that make it forty stitches
total for me right here so I want to give you an overview of exactly how to
knit this pattern to begin row 1 is simply knitting all so you knit every
single stitch on row 1 until you reach the end of your row then on Row 2 we are
purling all because this has a stockinette stitch look to it so Row 2
is purling all and we'll be doing that for all of our even rows as well okay
row 3 this is where the fun begins so we are going to take our cable needle and
we're going to slip two stitches slipping them purl wise so that's
inserting it right like this and then we're holding those two stitches back
and then we begin knitting two stitches from our main needle so from our main
needle we're knitting one stitch and then another while those two stitches
are being held back on the cable needle now we bring our cable needle into play
and we just knit two stitches from that
next it is slipping two stitches again but we're holding it front and then we
knit two stitches from our main needle one and two while our cable needle is
being held in the front and then we knit those last two stitches from the cable
needle and this is a total of eight stitches so
you just continue this pattern all the way down the row repeating it between
the asterisks in the pattern good going you got to the end so it's getting easy
now Row 4 is simply purling all of your
stitches all the way down the row row 5 we're just knitting all the stitches row
6 we're purling all of our stitches and
then row 7 this is the final cable row that we have it's really similar to what
we did it's just a little bit opposite so we are slipping two stitches onto our
cable needle but to begin now we're going to hold it in the front and then
we knit two stitches from our main needle and then finish that up by
knitting two stitches from our cable needle
okay let's slip two stitches onto our cable needle again and now we are
holding it back so we knit two stitches from our main
needle
and then we're knitting two stitches from the cable needle and again you just
repeat these eight stitches all the way down the row and then on row eight
you're just purling all of your stitches
and when you're done with row II begin again on Row 1 continue knitting this up
until your piece is the length you desire I just love seeing how this
pattern knits up so after you do your first eight rows
and you carry on you'll see how that little honeycomb area is also appearing
in between right here so it just looks like a great honeycomb of little
ringlets that are all attached in a really beautiful modern pattern I hope
you are inspired to knit up this honeycomb knit stitch pattern it is
really simple and very impressive and as soon as I have my little hair
accessories and my ear warmer ready for you make sure to get that pattern as
well it's a great quick knit gift idea for you thanks so much for watching guys
and I'll see you next time. Bye!
