A great full photo tutorial!

Cables give an elegant twist and texture to garments.

There’s really no “set” rules with crocheting cables. It depends on your yarn, your hook, and the size of and what exactly you are making. I decided to write this tutorial to give you an easy start on understanding the crochet cable stitch. I’ve added some notes along the way on how you can make your own changes; you can avoid those until you’ve mastered my mini tutorial, or if you want to be a dare-devil, you can go ahead and make it your own way:)
