You want to create beautiful Aran sweaters or cable hats? Then you only need to know how to knit the cable stitch. There is the left cross and the right cross and I'm going to show you how in this video.

All you need is a cable needle, and you need to know how to purl and how to knit.
For the left cross, slip the first two stitches on your cable needle and hold the needle in front. Then knit the next two stitches. Pick up the cable needle again and knit the two slipped stitches. Put the cable needle to the side, and continue knitting.

For the right cross, you do exactly the same thing, but keep the cable needle in the back.

In the return row you knit all stitches the way they appear. Typically you only cross on the right side and keep a couple of rows in between each crossing.

You can also knit the cable stitch without a cable needle. Here is how: https://nimble-needles.com/tutorials/...
