The cable techniques you'll find here were designed for those that love the look of knitted cables, but prefer to crochet.

Crochet cables are surprisingly simple to learn. This technique is similar to knitted cables; it uses a technique in which you twist or braid simple combinations of crochet strips that are created with simple combinations of basic crochet stitches. You then simply attach these strips to panels or flat pieces of crocheted fabric. This means you can essentially add a crocheted cable design to practically any crochet pattern you make such as crocheted bags, sweaters. scarves, and more.

If you've always wanted to learn how to crochet cables, then you definitely need to get your hands on this book. There are 20 different cable designs to choose from inside Add-On Crochet Cables, including the Single-Rib Cable, Mixed-Rib Cable, Tree-Hollow Cable, Wagon Wheel Cable, Grapevine Cable, Diamond Rope Cable, just to name a few.
