I've watched four other youtubers do this but yours is the first that actually makes sense to me. I'm trying to knit a baby blanket and I'm going to practice with larger yarn until I get it down
Great video. Thank you SO much for a quick and succinct video without ALL the usual irrelevant talking. Also great that you used a larger weight yarn AND lighter color so that it was easy to see what you were doing. Lastly, a very professional video. Kudos to you!!!!!
Absolutely LOVE the safety pin idea -- thank you so much (and can't believe I didn't ever think of carrying a safety pin along with my projects!!) Thank you Maryna for taking the time to explain these things so clearly, I learn so much from you!!! :)
Thank you for a very clear, helpful tutorial. It's great to have three useful methods demonstrated so cleanly and skillfully, with thick yarn in good lighting, in one place. I started substituting #2 for a 9 stitch braided pattern (so 3/3 crosses) I've been working on and the results match perfectly the crossings I'd already done with a makeshift cable needle. Also, #1 looks very clever and tidy, and I hadn't seen this anywhere else.
Very interesting tutorial! Especially the first 2 ways. I’ve never seen those before. The third way I’ve seen and can do it without a problem. I personally prefer using a dpn as a cable needle but this is very helpful if there are none around to use! I like the safety pin idea as well! Thanks for sharing!
10rowsaday some of the other cables were a little tricky; but Wow! I did it without a cable needle! You made that a challenge and a lot of fun! Thanks so much! Okay Bye 👋🏽☺️
Thank you Maryna. I love the look of cables and I enjoy working them into my work. However, I really dislike cable needles. The first on sounds safe enough for me, but the last two... scary. I've tried them and dropped the stitches; which is a scary moment in my life! LOL. I prefer to use what we label in the US as sport weight, fine, and lace. So, making cables with these narrow yarns without a cable needle is difficult for me regardless, but more so if I try to make them without a cable needle. It is a dilemma for me, but that will not stop me from making them. Are you able to work cables without the additional needle with these narrow yarns? I wish I had your confidence and skill. Love your videos.
Oh, Chelin, I'm sorry the "scary" ways didn't work for you. Of course, if you feel safer using a cable needle, do it. There is no reason whatsoever to add stress to your knitting routine. If you work with fine yarns, you can easily use a safety pin to cross the cables. At least this way you will know that it's always in the project whenever you need it. Happy knitting!
Very informative.... I want to ask it's possible to knit beanie or adult sweter with knitting needle having same cord length....like 4mm or 5 mm but both have cord ov 60 cm
Of course, Faiza, you can use long circular needles to make any project worked in the round. Simply use the magic loop technique (ruclips.net/video/oYYRzc8iLmQ/видео.html) to work on smaller pieces like sleeves. Happy knitting :-)
Love, we are not decreasing stitches, we are just crossing them. So no, way #1 is not an ssk or k2tog, it's just an interesting way to cross stitches without taking them off the needle.

Way #1 is not a true cable but an ssk or k2tog
Love, we are not decreasing stitches, we are just crossing them. So no, way #1 is not an ssk or k2tog, it's just an interesting way to cross stitches without taking them off the needle.
Love Cavaliers it is definitely a cable just a very simple way of doing one.
