Cable Knit Cast on and Alternating Cable Cast on Techniques

By Dylan Smith 30 May, 2023 2 mins read

The cable knit casting on is a professional technique, and it is great for beginners. The result is a strong, elastic edge that gives the yarn a smooth finish. This technique, which is similar to the knitted casting on, is simple to master and does not require any waste yarn or long tails. This method creates cable knit stitches in a short time.

Uneven cabling

This is a great way to learn how to knit cables if you don't know what it takes. Like the knitted method, you will need two knitting needles to make the cable cast on. The main difference between these two methods is the tighter edges that the cable will create, while the knitted one will leave a looser edge. For items with a tighter edge, you should only use an uneven cable knitting casting method.

This requires that you hold two needles together on each end. This technique is very simple, but you need to be careful not too tight. Otherwise your stitches will look uneven.

Alternating cable cast on

An alternating cables cast-on makes it quick and easy to add stitches in a project. It's similar to the tubular, but easier to learn. Both techniques use the exact same basic setup stitch. Start by making a slip knot on one needle and inserting the other needle into the loop. To create a stitch, pull your yarn through the loop. Then knit or purl the gap between the stitches.

The working yarn is used for the first stitch in the cable cast-on. This stitch can be made more interesting by twisting it. Once you have created a knitting loop, wrap the needle around your left needle. You can repeat steps 6-9 until you have the desired number of stitches.

Working the cable bind off

Two ways can you use the cable tie off after knitting cable cables. The first method, a stretchy one, is faster and more efficient. The second option is a more stretchy ribbed bindoff. It is best used in projects that don’t need much stretch.

Work the cable bindoff across the cables that were used for cabling. Then, you can apply the cable bond off to the remaining stitches. You should be able to slip the stitch off the needle and move onto the next needle.
