About the Stitch

This herringbone stitch is for advanced beginner knitter. 

Even though this cable stitch requires your full attention, it isn’t an easy stitch, it’s absolutely worth the effort!

It’s an 8-row repeat and all of the right side rows have cable stitches. 

This herringbone lattice stitch cable stitch consists of 2 cable stitches and a twist stitch creating a lovely fabric with the gorgeous texture of woven cable stitches.

If you’re knitting a stockinette stitch scarf or blanket and you’d like to add this cable pattern, having a few reverse stockinette stiches on either side of your cable will give it more definition, so it “pops.”

This is not a reversible pattern, meaning that the front and back are not the same.

There aren’t any increases or decreases, so you should always have the same number of stitches on the needles.
