Braid cable
StitcheIntermediate
Three strands of 3 stitches crossing in turn, like a plait.
On row 1 cross the first 6 stitches to the right; on row 5 cross the last 6 to the left.
Good to know
- Keep track of row 5 with the counter: it is the one people forget.
Not yet checked by a knitter: if you find a mistake, please report it. contact@nico7an.fr
