The machine knitted cable encyclopedia now has 2 volumes, to make it a more comprehensive resource. The subject of open cables is expanded on in Pretzel Logic. It contains several simplified cable charts, as well as instructions for both basic and embossed open cables. Patterns for all machines are included. See table of contents for Pretzel Logic at left and for Mostly Classic Cables below. All Pretzel Logic patterns require 2 beds. This can be a main bed and ribber or a true double bed machine. The ribber must have needles at the same intervals as the main bed. (A few vintage machines have ribbers with half of the needle spaces on the main bed filled on the ribber. These are not suitable ) MOSTLY CLASSIC CABLES TABLE OF CONTENTS Helpful video links [see below] Index of stitches [see below] Cable Basics Cable-Go-Round Hat for mid-gauge or bulky machines in 3 adult sizes using #3 yarn.
