Lily Chin Workshop 2

Wednesday, September 5, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Reversible Cables

Simple to execute, cables are almost always worked over stockinette stitch thereby producing a “wrong” side. This is not particularly attractive on a scarf or shawl or afghan where the “wrong side” will be in full view of the public. In this class, learn how cables work, which stitches, yarns and needles are ideal for these reversible cables, and how to chart them so you’ll know what you’ll be getting beforehand.

By the end of this class, you will have a sampler of reversible cables plus enough ideas to keep you in stitches for a long, long time.

Level of Experience:  At least advanced-beginner, anyone who’s tried their hand at some kind of cable

Homework:  Make three (3) swatches as follows:

  1. With any light-colored worsted weight yarn and size 9 needles, cast on 12 stitches.  Row 1- k 2, [k1, p1] 4 times, end k 2. Repeat this row for 1”. Leave stitches on needles.
  2. With any light-colored worsted weight yarn and size 8 needles, cast on 12 stitches and work in k 2, p 2 rib for 1”. Leave stitches on needles.
  3. With any light-colored worsted weight yarn and size 10 needles, cast on 12 stitches. Row 1- k 2, [k2, p2] twice, end k 2.
    Rep this row for 1”. Leave stitches on needles.
