I love these tiny cables, more like a cabled rib actually, inspired by a similar
pattern seen on the web. I decided to work it up into a toilet tissue cover.
1 50g ball Red Heart Laurentian knitting worsted, half wool half acrylic, in off white
4 mm needles
fits standard size roll
Beginning at lower edge, cast on 56 sts, loosely.
Work 4 rows of k1, p1 ribbing.
Continue to work in rib pattern, but increase 1 st in every second
knit stitch and in final stitch - *k1, p1, k1, m1 (make one) in same st,
p1* ending k1 - total 71 sts.
Wrong side - *p1, k1, p2, k1*, repeat to end of row, end p1.
Right side - *k1, p1, cr2, p1* across, ending k1.
cr2 - Cross2 - skip first st, knit into second st on needle but
leave st on needle, then knit first (skipped) st, then slip both sts off
needle together.
Wrong side - *p1, k1, p2, k1*, repeat to end of row, end p1.
Repeat these last two rows 11 more times (12 cable twists total), end
ready to work next right side row.
