Honeycomb Cable Texture
Stitch Techniques
A series of easy knits and purls and two simple cables create the raised pattern.
Row Repeat
Knit up this cable design with an 8-row repeat.
Can this cable texture be knit in the round on circular needles?
Yes, this Honeycomb Cable pattern includes written instructions to knit it in the round. Try it out with either circular or double-pointed needles.
Not a Reversible Pattern
As you can see in the swatch that I knitting up, this is not a reversible pattern. The wrong side is an inverted texture from the featured front right side of the pattern design.
