Cables! I love a good squishy cable and am happy to hear you’re here to learn how to knit a basic 4 stitch cable. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to knit C4B (cable 4 back) and C4F (cable 4 front) cables.
C4B and C4F are frequently written as:
C4B: Slip 2 sts onto cable needle and hold to back, knit 2 from left hand needle, knit 2 from cable needle
C4F: Slip 2 sts onto cable needle and hold to front, knit 2 from left hand needle, knit 2 from cable needle
The pattern for this particular cable is:
Row 1 (RS): k4
Row 2 (WS): p4
Row 3: C4B or C4F
Row 4: p4
Repeat rounds 1-4
