Cables are not just for knitters, and I will prove it to you in this video tutorial where I teach you how to crochet the Six Stitch Cable. I just know that after watching the tutorial, not only will you realize how simple crochet cables really are, but you will be truly inspired to get to work on your next project (and it’ll involve cables!).
If you love this stitch as much as I do and can’t wait to get crocheting, check out the following free patterns on the Leelee Knits site!

Thankyou for the cable tutorial. I have always been afraid to try as looked so intimidating. Running off to have a go now xx
Loved your cable tutorial. Have to try this.
Glad to hear Hazel!
Glad to hear Hazel! 🙂
Hi, if are gauge isn’t long enough and we want to add stitches, is there a multiple we should use to get the same effect? I’m trying this with another yarn but it doesn’t seem to be long enough. Thanks!
Hi Elaine, you can chain a multiple of 10 plus 5.
thank you so much! I wish I had your pattern making brain!
