Cable-knit vest
MAKE IT
YOURS
By EJI«a Appel

Cables are among the moat popular knitting techniques, and it is
no wonder. A single cable, cable
panel, or all-over pattern, gives a
sweater a rich, sculptural surface.
The contemporary vest, illustrated above, is an example of a
sweater with a limited, yet striking, cable pattern. While cables
may be difficult for beginners, a
knitter with some experience
should find this vest a good way to
try cable knitting.
With shawl collar, cable, and
button front, the vest is ideal for
today's fashions. Knit of Bernat
"Blarneyspun" 100 percent wool
Irish import or "Berella 4" acrylic
yarn, the complete kit, including
yarns, buttons and instructions, is
available by writing to the address that follows this column.
Cable knitting is done with the
help of a short, double-pointed
cable needle. The cable needle
helps you transfer stitches from
one position in the row to another
position, eventually forming the
twists that are characteristic of
cable designs.
Basically, to knit a cable pattern, you slip a group of stitches
onto the cable needle, knit the
next few stitches as usual, and
then knit the stitches from the
cable needle back into the row.
For best results, a cable needle
should be the same size or thinner
than your knitting needles. If your
cable needle is too large, you run
the risk of stretching or distorting
your stitches.
If you're knitting your first
cabled sweater, you'd be wise to
choose a sweater with a cabled
panel rather than an all-over design. An entirely cabled sweater is
far more complicated to knit
To test a cable pattern now,
take a look at the pattern below.
It's taken from the vest shown. As
always "p" stands for "purl," and
"k" stands for knit. Other symbols
in the pattern are worked as follows:
CF 6: Slip the next 3 stitches
onto the cable needle and hold in
FRONT of work. Knit the next 3
stitches, as usual, and then knit the
3 stitches from cable needle.
CB 6: Slip next 3 stitches onto
ROW 6 and 8: k2, p3, k2, p6, k2,
pS.k2.
ROW 7 p2, k3, p2, CF6, p2, k3,
cable needle and bold in BACK of
work. Knit the next 3 stitches as
usual, and then knit the 3 stitches
from the cable needle.
TL 4: Slip next 3 stitches onto
cable needle and hold in FRONT
of work. Purl the next stitch. Then
knit the 3 stitches from the cable
needle.
TR 4: Slip next stitch onto cable
needle and hold in BACK of work.
Knit the next 3 stitches as usual,
and then purl the stitch from cable
needle.
When you first try cable
stitches, the first few rows may
look peculiar. If you follow the
pattern, however, you'll soon see
those peculiar-looking rows develop into a beautiful cabled design.
Here are directions for the
vest's cable-stitch pattern:
MATERIALS: Use no. 9 needles
to test pattern with "Blarneyspun," no. 10 needles for "Berella
4," or any size needles and yarn
that will give seven pattern
stitches to the inch.
VEST CABLE-PATTERN
STITCH: Cast on twenty stitches.

ROW 2: k2, p6, k4, p6, k2.

p2.
ROW 4: (k2, p3, kl, p3) twice, k2.
ROW 5: p2, k3, pi, TL4, TR4, pi,
k3,p2.
