Baby Eyelets Cables knitting stitch pattern (without cable needle)
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit the Baby Eyelet Cables stitch pattern, without using a cable needle.
An adorable stitch, perfect for knitting clothes and accessories for babes and babies, as well as women’s hats, sweaters or tops.
Its eye-catching design is flattering and timeless!
The Baby Eyelet Cables combines columns of knitting and purling, along with little lace cables.
It’s a four-row repeat pattern, easy to knit and quick to memorize (pretty intuitive).
The first row is the most important…it may appear complicated the first time you try, persevere as the second and third times the charm, it just gets easier 😉
The next 3 rows are just like a 3×3 ribbing (knit 3, purl 3, and viceversa).
This swatch is knitted using 100% cotton yarn #ad
Not too fine, not too thick, just the right amount of brightness, a natural feel compared to other mercerized fibers, it comes in a wonderful range of colors, grab some and get knitting.
And I used my favorite dpns (double pointed needles / 5 mm or US 8) #ad
I love them because they are bamboo, light and strong, yet short enough to knit with anywhere, and for all you size queens this set has all possible sizes!
These are my needles for knitting swatches, socks, and hats, especially practical if you are not a fan of the circular needles and the “Magic Loop” technique 😉
Without further ado, grab your yarn and needles, and let’s knit together!
