The Basic Cable Vest by ahoneyknits is a great project for someone who is looking to try cables! The cable pattern is made using a 1/1 left cross stitch throughout- other than that it’s mostly knit and purl stitches which is what makes it the perfect beginner cable pattern! I also have a tutorial for the 1/1 left cross stitch on my Instagram @ahoneyknits <3
