Share via: Facebook Twitter Email LinkedIn Copy Link More The Crests stitch is an easier way to learn how to cross stitches, in case you haven’t knitted cables yet. It’s dense and textured, which can be used to knit women’s and men’s clothing and accessories. A perfect stitch to knit cowls, sweaters and cardigans, bags, cushions, a rectangular shawl or wrap, and so much more! To cross the stitches you’ll need a cable needle, that can be replaced using a pencil, a hair clip, a third needle, etc…anything you have, to leave a couple of stitches standing.   Abbreviations CO: Cast on St: Stitch K: Knit P: Purl  WS: Wrong side RS: Right side CN: Cable needle BO: Bind off   Crests stitch knitting pattern   CO multiples of de 3 + 5 (i.e.: 3*6 = 18+5 = 23 stitches). 1º Row: K across 2º, 4º and 6º Rows: P across 3º Row: K1, *slip the next 2 st onto CN and hold in back, K1, K2 from CN.
