This cute little dress uses a faux heart cable and some easy ruffles for embellishment. It’s included in a whole book full of faux cable techniques and patterns called “Can These Be Cables?”

This book details a multitude of cabled looks for all knitting machines that require no crossing of stitches at all! No crossing means less stress on the yarn and fewer limitations on where and how cables may be used.

The book is 72 pages. The first part consists of tutorials on each technique in many variations. The techniques may be applied to any project you wish. The second section is a collection of patterns. You may download the first 5 pages for free from my website so as to have a full understanding of what the book covers. These pages include the table of contents and photos of all the patterns. $20
