Do you know how to avoid crossing cables in the wrong direction? Has this ever happened to you? This is so easy to do. Especially if you are knitting a lot of cables in a pattern. It can also happen when there are few cables in a pattern. If we don’t catch the wrongly crossed cable right away, it may be a lot of work to fix. Sometimes, we also just leave the mistake and say it is our addition to the pattern. That is totally fine!
However, depending on the pattern, it can be really annoying to discover a wrongly crossed cable where we do NOT want the cable to be wrongly crossed. It may really stand out. Thus, it pays to be cautious when you are knitting your cables.
I have two simple steps that I use in my knitting all of the time when I am knitting cables. These two steps have helped me avoid crossing cables in the wrong direction and have saved me a lot of time!
I have created a video tutorial outlining these simple steps that can save your cable knitting!
