I’ll weave in the ends after I block the swatch.

A cable of my choosing. I borrowed this braided cable from a sweater knit by Gramma Kathy.

In the final version, I flipped the braid upside down. I also found this version in The Best of Knitter’s Arans and Celtics. The best part is its only a four row repeat.

Eight-stitch cable with left and right cross. This swatch must be made with the same yarn and needles used for swatches one, two, and three.

Simple four-stitch right-cross cable.
