Woven Cable Stitch - Lovely Textured Stitches

The woven cable stitch pattern looks amazing to me.  I am always amazed at what you can create when you knit and this pattern is definitely an eye-popper.

It really stands out and actually looks like a real basketweave pattern or lattice work the way the stitches all work in together. 

Besides you can't go wrong if you're using scrap yarn right? And you just might surprise yourself.

The woven cable stitch creates a tight, dense fabric so you may want to try using bigger needles.  

And because it is quite a tight fabric it doesn't have a lot of drape.  You'll have to see how it turns out on bigger needles.

Your stitches will also be tight because of the stitch pattern so don't be afraid that you're doing it wrong.  

You see there are no purl stitches in between the cables and there is no extra space either so that's why it works up pretty tight.  

Because the woven cable creates a tight dense fabric this pattern will make lovely knitting accessories like:  

• knit handbag (you probably won't need to line your bag)
• pillow covers
• hats
• knit scarves
• place mats
• pot holders
• mug sweaters

Before you start you may like to refresh your memory on how to knit cables  just so that you're all ready to go.
