Product description

These cable knitting needles make it easy to knit cable knits of 6 stitches or more. The shape of the needles makes them ideal for holding stitches until they need to be knitted.

First, transfer half of the stitches to a purl needle. Then knit the other half of the stitches in the cable. Finally, knit the stitches on the purl.

When knitting cables, half of the stitches are placed on an auxiliary needle and left to wait either in front of or behind the piece. If they wait in front of the piece, the twist turns to the left. If they wait behind the piece, the twist turns to the right.

The number of stitches in the twist determines the width. More stitches make it wider, while few stitches make it narrower. As a rule, you knit as many rows as stitches before repeating the purl. For example, to knit a purl over 6 stitches, repeat the purl on every 6th row, alternating between right and left.

Knitting needles can also be called auxiliary needles, knitting needles or aran needles.
