Description ~ Cables, Charts and Short Rows

Learn how to read a cable chart and how to intuitively understand the symbols. Learn basic cables, how to work cables without a cable needle and most importantly how to fix problems when they arise!

In the Short Rows learn several different ways of creating short rows and find the method that perfectly suits you. Once the short rows have been perfected we can explore innovative ways to use your short rows and incorporate them into your work as well as how to work short rows within a pattern. We will use the pattern Palatino to practice basic cables and short rows in a cable pattern. 

Materials Needed ~ Cables, Charts and Short Rows

Cable needle, 100g of dk yarn (250 yards), US size 6 / 4 mm straight needles (or circular), removable markers.

Homework ~ Cables, Charts and Short Rows
