About this Stitch Pattern

The Horn Cable Stitch is a simple cable pattern that creates a column of stacked “V’s” that look like horns. It’s easily modified to be done without a cable needle, so it is a good cable stitch for beginners. It is perfect as an accent on a sweater, or as part of an aran afghan.
