Materials needed
(listed below is what I used to create the sample of the Horn Cable stitch pattern)
Paintbox Yarns Simply DK yarn in color Light Grey (#104), approximately 21 yds
C4b: Cable 4 back – slip next 2 sts from left hand needle to cable needle, hold to back, k2 from left hand needle, then k2 from cable needle
C4f: Cable 4 front – slip next 2 sts from left hand needle to cable needle, hold to front, k2 from left hand needle, then k2 from cable needle
WS: Wrong side
X: Times (example: 3x = 3 times)
Notes:
To make this stitch a little easier and to keep track of the panel, try inserting stitch markers between panels. This way it’s easier not to not get confused as to where the background of reverse stockinette section and the cable panel is.
To help minimize the gap of the cable, I give a light tug on the stitch afterward and it helps to close up the gap a bit.
