The Cable Knitter's Guide: 50 Patterns, 25 Projects, Countless Tips and Ideas

Cables are beautiful and fun to knit, but if you've never worked one before, it's hard to know where to start! Handcrafting expert Denise Samson, author of Ponchos to Knit , has written a book to do just that! The Cable Knitter's Guide is divided into two parts: The first introduces 50 elegant variations on the basic cable, from the elegantly simple to the eye-catchingly complex, all accompanied by detailed photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions. Novices in need of even more guidance can follow the links provided in the book to a series of YouTube videos of the author herself demonstrating how to work each cable included! The second section forms a collection of 25 patterns for garments, accessories, and furnishings, each using one or more of the cables introduced earlier to add a little something extra to these delightful, striking designs. Welcome to the complete book of cable knitting!

Denise Samson is an author, translator, and designer. She has had patterns published in Norwegian magazines and has taught various knitting and crochet classes.
