Cable knitting is awesome, it has so much variety and each one is beautiful and unique. Liana cable stitch is one of my recent favourites, its long cables together with breaking horizontal lines making this stitch a perfect candidate for a Liana cable hat (spoiler alert :D). Let’s learn the basics of this stitch before jumping into the complexities of hat knitting.

Knitting materials and tools:

<> DPN 4 mm (US6 / UK8)

<> Marks & Kattens Dream: 50 grams -100 m per skein.

Common abbreviations of knit stitches:

k – knit

p – purl

st(s) – stitch(es)

sel s – selvage stitch: always slip the first stitch purlwise, work to the last stitch, purl the last stitch

Cable 3 Back (C3B): Slip 3 knit stitches to the extra needle and hold in back of work, p1, k1, p1 from the left-hand needle, p1, k1, p1 from the extra needle.

Cable 3 Front (C3F): Slip 3 knit stitches to the extra needle and hold in front of work, p1, k1, p1 from the left-hand needle, p1, k1, p1 from the extra needle.
