cable needle
Stitch-holding implement
A cable needle is a short, specialized knitting needle used to hold stitches temporarily while creating cable patterns.
It has a bend or hook in the middle that prevents stitches from sliding off while the knitter works other stitches out of order, producing the characteristic twisted rope effect in cable knitting.
