This little cloth is an easy cable project, good to get your feet wet cabling-wise. If you don’t have a cable needle, a bent paperclip, a spare knitting needle, or the like will do.

I’ve been afraid to try cables but this I’ll take a stab at! I love to knit dish cloths. It gives me a chance to learn new stitches without feeling overwhelmed
