cable knitting
Twisted yarn technique
Cable knitting is a technique that creates raised, twisted patterns resembling braided ropes or cables.
The effect comes from crossing groups of stitches over each other, producing three-dimensional texture.
Cable patterns appear on sweaters, scarves, and blankets, particularly in traditional Aran and fisherman's knitwear: a chunky cable knit cardigan.
