Whether you're a knitting cable pro or you've been too scared to try. A Mock Cable Stitch can get a similar look without the fuss of a cable needle. **Students are required to bring tools and yarn.**

The Broad Spiral is a mock cable ribbing stitch.  It is a simple knitting technique creating a lovely twisting stitch pattern that closely resembles a cabled fabric.
