Stitch Description
The Large Woven Cable stitch look like a big, stretched cable braid. Worked over 20 stitches, this wide cable is much easier than it looks. Often large woven cables like this are used in big sweaters or bulky scarves. It’s a bold stitch pattern that’s great for projects using chunky yarn.
