Little cable rib stitch

Ribbing doesn’t have to be plain! Liven up your knits with this quick and easy cable rib.

We love a little bit of cable work: it gives such a great textural addition to any jumper or cardigan pattern. And the simple Little Cable Rib is a perfect stitch to get practising with! This stitch pattern would be ideal for a fancy cushion cover or even a blanket.
