Crochet cables are a classic crochet stitch and while cabling is more common in knitting you can achieve the effect crocheting as well. The two main stitches needed for cabling include a double crochet stitch and the chain stitch. As with any type of crochet the chain is the foundation of the piece. A cable required five rows that are repeated over and over again.
The very first row of the cable uses double crochet stitches. This is done by wrapping the yarn around the hook, sliding the hook into the first chain, wrapping the yarn around again and then pulling the hoop back through the chain.
When crocheting it is important to remember that unlike with knitting crocheting requires loose stitches otherwise you will get spaces in the pattern which should not be present.
This type of use is used to increase the stitches as the cable will require a way to increase and then decrease the stitches. If you are unsure of what a stitch post is than you should look up a crocheting glossary.
The third row uses chain stitches, double crochet stitches and treble stitches. The rest of the rows are a mirror of the first few rows and this pattern is repeated until the length of the piece is correct. There are many pictures and guides that can detail exactly how this is done as many times seeing this performed makes everything clear.
If you do not usually use crochet cabling than you should definitely practice a bit so you get the type of result that you want. You will be very pleased with the results using this stitch. - 31807
