Here's how they are used and why they are beneficial:
- Creating Cables: Cable patterns are formed by crossing groups of stitches over one another. Cable needles temporarily hold a section of stitches while you knit the next set of stitches, allowing for the crossing effect that creates the cable twist.
- Types and Materials: These needles come in various shapes (straight, U-shaped, or curved) and can be made from materials like wood, bamboo, metal, or plastic. These ones are made of plastic and have a curved shape to help hold stitches securely.
- Holding Stitches: The curved or grooved design helps prevent the temporarily held stitches from slipping off the needle while you work other stitches.
- Versatility: While primarily used for cables, some knitters also find them useful for other techniques like picking up stitches, especially with certain sweater construction methods.
