Cable Four Back Stitch (C4B)
About This Technique
The Cable Four Back is a traditional cable stitch. All cable stitches are rearranging the order of the stitches being worked, creating a twisted effect on the fabric. The Cable Four Back uses the abbreviation C4B, the 4 standing for the four stitches involved in the completed cable. The B is for Back or behind, explaining where your cable needle will go when you are working to create the twist.
