Over the last year I have been thinking about 3D knitting a lot and how to do it in the simplest and easiest way on my needles.

This pattern demonstrates the faux cable technique I have developed.

I used it as part of a Wrap garment in which I used Toft Alpaca DK and 4mm needles because that is what the garment required. But of course you can use different yarn weights and needles too!
