CABLED PILLOWS

$5.00

Knit Simple Holiday 2014 #15

Design by Annabelle Speer

You’ll love this needle-free method of making cables: knit strips in stockinette, tie the strips into a knot, then continue knitting. The cable motif gets front-and-center treatment, surrounded by borders of straightforward stitches like reverse stockinette and garter ridge.
