This video was explained incredibly well. I thought cable knitting was so difficult, but now I realize it just takes time! Thanks for the great video and pattern!

I learned so much! Most videos do not break it down so well.

My first not stockinette or just rib scarf and created a 49 stitch with 3 cables and two 3x3 rib in between, using 4.5mm needles. Just finished row 11 and it's looking stunning! Very happy thanks a bunch 🤗

Thank you for this easy to understand video! I am new to knitting and wanted to learn the cable stitch. Your video was easy to understand and follow. I also like that you used a light color yarn for the tutorial. It makes it so much easier to see.

[@RokoleeDIY]

You're welcome, I'm glad it helped you :)

Thank so simply explained it's a very long time since I've done cable knitting but I've just found an Arran pattern with drop shoulders my kind of knitting I've got four different but all dropped shoulder patterns on the go at the moment all of which I'm making slightly longer which I've done so many time one Arran jumper I did last year I made into a just above the knee dress I've had so many compliments on it I wear it with thick leggings so I'm nice and toasty warm thank you for a reminder on how to do the cable again

[@RokoleeDIY]

This is how I taught myself to do it. Interesting. The only difference is that if I do a 3/3/3 braid then I twist on every 3rd row, which is a bit tricky because twisting on a row with purl stitches is harder (because then I also have to think backwards) but not impossible though. If I do a 4/4/4 braid, then I'll twist on every 4th row, and every 2nd row on a 2/2/2 braid, etc. I've not yet tried doing a 1/1/1 braid twisted on every row, but that would probably look pretty cool, if I had that sorta patience. I've noticed that following that patterns generally makes it just right in how tightly it's wrapped. I'm currently making a poncho with 3 braids next to each other, one of 12 stitches to be be twisted every 4th row, then one of 9 stiches to be twisted ever 3rd row, and the last one of 6 stitches to be twisted every 2nd row. I encountered that's harder to keep track of than I had anticipated, lol, but it sure looks neat.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Yes changing the number of 'rest rows' between the twists certainly changes the look; making it tighter or looser. The twists are pretty much always done on the knit side of the cable , though, because (as you said) it's easier! Happy cabling :)

Thanks so much! Love your videos...... Beverly

Aw thanks very much!

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰IT WAS VERY VERY HELPFUL..THAN YOU A LOT🌹❤

[@RokoleeDIY]

You’re welcome 😊

[@deborahloza4975]

hi do i always cast on odd number of stitches, and then do i copy your pattern even if a have say lots of stitches on if I'm making a Childs jumper?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Sorry for the slow reply. The cable itself is 9 stitches across so you'll need 9 stitches for every 3/3/3 cable you want to make. You could add stitches in between the cables or along the outside edges too if you wished, it's up to you :)

[@gingerg7903]

thanks a lot

[@MrsBrown-fl2kc]

I followed all steps but why does mine look like a cable... Not braid style😩😭😭😭

[@Summer_Lee]

What needle size are you using?? And what size yarn??

[@RokoleeDIY]

I'm not 100% but it looks like super chunky yarn and 10 mm needles (and the sample at the end is DK yarn with 4.5 mm needles)

[@sawffsferreira3060]

I’m a bit confused at how many reps there are in this pattern, you just cable on the third line and the 4th line is the same as the first right?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Rows 1 & 5 are the same, rows 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 are the same, and rows 3 & 7 are the cable rows (and are slightly different to each other). When I finally publish this pattern on my website I will link it here. Sorry for the confusion.

[@diannefitzmaurice9813]

What is confusing is the order of the 3 stitches on the holder. Rather than all the info about knit and purl which most would know by the time they tackle the cable, is to do the 3 -strand braid cable to identify the order of the stitches on hold. And on this you never do the 3rd one. From what I gather the first 3 are on hold to the Front , then the middle 3 are on hold to the Back in the next cable row. So does this mean that for the next cable row, the last 3 the middle are again on hold but to the Front ? And then it would help to repeat the order . That is what is so confusing.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Try following the written version to see if it helps: www.rokolee.com/braid-plait-cable-knitting-pattern :D

[@amy2770]

This is what I did...The third cable is Row 11... I repeated as the first cable, ie Row 3. So Row 3 the cable row is hold first 3. Row 7 the cable row is hold second 3 Row 11 is a repeat of Row 3. It looks right because if you hold the last 3, there's nothing to twist because you've already knitted the first 6 of the 9 stitches.

[@zehrazaidi377]

When I knit braided cable it becomes very tight please guide me thanks in advance

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Cabling does create odd tension and bunch up stitches in your knitting, so it may be something you can fix by just blocking your knitting once you have finished. Blocking will relax the stitches and even out the tension. If that isn't enough to fix it, then perhaps try using needles that are a little thicker than recommended for your yarn, to try and loosen up your tension. Hope that helps!

[@zehrazaidi377]

@@RokoleeDIY Thankyou I 'll try

[@vadahaynes365]

can you send me the cable pattern the sight is not working

[@mariairenepintocoelho6508]

how can we ask someone for help on how to do a certain cable? please? could we post a picture to show

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! The best place to ask for individual help would be an online knitting forum - have a Google to find one that has active members and then you'll be able to post a photo and ask for help :)

[@kierawatkins9389]

what do C6f and C6b mean? thanks in advance

[@RokoleeDIY]

C stands for cable, 6 stands for how many stitches are involved in the cable, f means front and b means back. So C6f is where 3 stitches pass in front of another 3 stitches and it twists to the left, and C6b is where 3 stitches are passed behind another 3 stitches and it twists to the right :)

[@serapugurlugil9214]

I HAVE STARTED A PROJECT WANTED TO USE YOUR DESIGN, BUT I AM CONFUSED 😔..ABOUT ROW 8 WHICH IS WRONG SIDE ..!!
