Lattice Cable Stitch Texture
It’s a fun project for experienced knitters, as well as great practice for those new to knitting cable textures with a simple 8-Row Repeat stitch pattern.
This woven, braided pattern is similar to the Diagonal Basket Weave cable knit stitch. However, this cable stitch has a more open look and does not knit up as tightly, giving it a medium stretch that would be perfect for impressive blankets and scarves.
Lays Flat
Since this pattern easily lays flat, it’s a great knit stitch pattern to knit up a pillow, blanket, hat, or scarf.
Not a Reversible Stitch
This is not a reversible pattern, because both sides of your work, the right and wrong sides, are not identical.
RIGHT SIDE: The right side of our work is a beautiful interwoven diagonal lattice cable pattern.
WRONG SIDE: The wrong side of our work looks great, too, showing off a pretty vertical wiggle pattern.
Can the Lattice Cable be knit in the round on circular needles?
Yes, this pattern includes written instructions to knit it in the round. Try it out with either circular or double-pointed needles.
