Show off your cabling skills with this felted bag that is easier than it looks! A slip-stitch cable floats on top of a bed of variegated garter stitch. Only one color is knit on each row, so there are no bobbins to manage. And felting conceals all your mistakes, so no need to worry if your cabling isn’t perfect.
