Reversible Cable Knit Stitch (No Curl Easy & Relaxing)+Video

This reversible cable knit stitch looks identical on both sides, doesn’t curl, and you’ll learn how to make perfect edges!

Actually, this pattern is part of the Cable Stitch Patterns collection, where you’ll find classic, reversible, and distinctive cable designs

If you love the look of cables but not the effort they usually require, today’s pattern is going to make you very happy 🙂

Although it’s a 20-row repeat, you’ll only be crossing stitches on two of them (rows 10 & 20), like I love to call them: just 2 “working” rows!

Furthermore, the rest is an easy 2 x 2 Rib Stitch, so it’s one of those patterns that look super complex but in fact feel relaxing…

Today’s reversible cable knit stitch is ideal for scarves, blankets, infinite cowls, or anything you want to look pretty on both sides (preferably big pieces).

Yarn & Needles I used

I made this swatch using 100% wool (worsted weight, very forgiving, great for beginners) #ad

With my US 8 (5 mm) favorite wooden needles (super smooth and pointy, perfect for cables and lace patterns) #ad
