Going Without—Knitting Cables without a Cable Needle

The first time I encountered the Chamfer Cardigan, I was captivated by the intricate cable patterns making up the design. Though I had some hesitations about tackling such a complex-looking project, I got excited to cast on as soon as I read these brilliant instructions from Corrina Ferguson. That article outlined the simple and easy way to knit all these cables without a cable needle. But what brought this pattern within reach were the videos Corrina shared to accompany the written instructions.

These 1-minute demonstrations break down the four cables you see in the Chamfer Cardigan: 2/2 left cross, 2/2 right cross, right twist, and mock cables.
