Flipside Awesomeness: Reversible Cables

Harry Wells

Friday PM

Cables are lovely…until you flip them over. Now learn how to make them reversible! Learn what can and cannot be reversed, and two methods of developing reversible cable fabric. Many examples of cables—rope, lozenge, celtic braid, horn and more—are covered with step-by-step examination and in-class exercises to convert them to reversibility. You will be given several reversible sample stitch patterns to knit up.

Skill Level: Intermediate. Participants should be able to accomplish long tail cast-on, and stitches such as knit, purl, K2tog, SSK, YO, and know how to do a basic rope cable and be able to read charts with cable symbols.
