ABSTRACT:
A device for facilitating knitting of cable stitch patterns having an elongated, bluntly pointed straight shank and a continuation of the shank formed in a loop of more than 360.degree., with a portion of the loop curving back into closely spaced proximity to the shank, the spacing being less than the thickness of the yarn being used. An end portion of the loop has a curvature exceeding the curvature of the adjacent portion of the loop so as to diverge from the latter.
A method is described for utilizing the cable stitch holder in which the pointed straight shank is inserted through a selected number of consecutive stitches on the knitting needle, in the same direction as the knitting needle, moving the cable stitch holder relative to the knitting needle to pull the selected number of stitches off the knitting needle, rotating the cable stitch holder around the axis of the straight shank to move the loop out of the way, knitting a second selected number of consecutive stitches from the knitting needle onto a second knitting needle, and thereafter knitting the stitches from the cable stitch holder onto the second knitting needle.
