Knit Bits: Learn to Knit Cables

Nervous about crossing your knitting into cables? You shouldn’t be—cables are nothing to be afraid of! This booklet will not only teach you what cables are and how they work, but will walk you from the most basic cables to complex twists. We’ll even show you how to make them without a cable needle. The three patterns included will guide you through the learning process, starting with a cowl that uses only a few types of crosses and working up to an advanced level wrap. We’ll give you everything you need to become a master of the method!

New! Sunstruck Shorties

Featuring smooth joins, perfectly tapered tips and flexible cables, this set includes 7 of our bestselling needle tips and 2 cables to create a 16″ circular knitting needle – all of which are stored in a handy vinyl case. Two small cable keys are included, which allow you to tighten your needle tips to the cables. Working on multiple projects that call for the same needle size? Use the included endcaps to safely store your project as you start the next.

New! Sunstruck Try It Needle Set

This Try It Needle Set gives you the chance to try both our Sunstruck wood and nickel plated interchangeable tips, in our most common sizes. The Try It Needle Set contains one set of size 6 (4mm) Sunstruck wood tips, one set of size 7 (4.5mm) Nickel Plated tips, one 24″ cable, one 40″ cable, four end caps, and one metal tightening key. This set is handy for knitters who already have an interchangeable needle set, but tend to work on multiple projects that require the same common needles sizes. This is also a great gift for new knitters who want to find their favorite needle finish, and buy needles that would work with many types of projects and yarn.
