The Eccentric Cable Stitch Pattern is a lovely cable pattern created over 6 stitches. In fact, it is a very attractive variation of a simple 6-stitch cable.

Furthermore, it is a great example of how you can create interesting cable patterns by simple changing the pattern rows in the same cable.

Actually, there are many different ways you can vary your cable in a similar manner. For instance, by cabling only every 20 or 30 rows, you can create a long “wrapped ribbon” effect.

In addition, you could try to place two cable rows close together. Then you work three or four as many plain rows in between.

In other words, there are now limits, so get designing!

As a matter of fact, cables can be made both with and without using a cable needle. However, it is usually easier to work them using some kind of a cable needle.

For example, you could use an especially designed cable needle to move your stitches around. Alternatively, you can also use a short double-pointed needle.
