How to Knit the Easy Mock Cables Stitch Pattern + Video
Today, you’ll learn how to knit the Easy Mock Cables Stitch, a lovely knit and purl stitch, great for beginners 🙂
Actually, if you can knit and purl, this one is for you (there are no slipped stitches, nor decreasing or increasing).
It’s another vertical pattern and has a pretty texture to it (featuring embossed diagonal lines).
Furthermore, although both sides are different, the so-called wrong side looks cute too, so I’d say it’s a reversible stitch.
The Easy Mock Cables Pattern is ideal for both, large and small projects, such as socks, hats, scarves, blankets, and sweaters.
Ok, it’s time to knit!
Grab your needles and your favorite yarn, and let’s knit together!
I made this swatch out of 100% Peruvian cotton yarn (smooth, worsted weight, and nice to work with) #ad

CO multiples of 7 st + 2. For example: 7 * 3 = 21 + 2 = 23 st.

These eight rows create the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached.
When finished, BO working each st as it presents after row 7 (WS).
