Deciphering Cable Knitting Charts // Technique Tuesday

This is the third video in a series on knitting charts. Cable symbols contain an incredible amount of information that allow you to read them without constantly referring to the key, if you know how to look at them. This video breaks down cable symbols to show you how to know the number of stitches involved in a cable, how many stitches are crossing in front vs back, whether the cable leans right or left, and how to work each stitch (as knits or purls).
