Designer’s notes: The knotted cable pattern is the first cable pattern I have come across that utilizes two cable needles. It could also be worked with one cable needle by slipping stitches from the cable needle back to the left-hand needle. I found it somewhat simpler and quicker to use two cable needles. It is fun to work and no more difficult than working with one cable needle.
