Seed Stitch Horseshoe Cable Knitting Stitch Pattern

Even though this cable stitch requires your full attention, it’s easier than it looks!
It’s a 12-row repeat, but only 1 row has cable stitches. For the rest of the rows, you’ll be creating that beautiful seed stitch texture.
This seed stitch horseshoe cable stitch consists of 2 cable stitches using 6 stitches each. On one row you’ll create a right leaning and then a left leaning cable stitch with a knit stitch in the middle.
