Cable abbreviations



Even after nearly 50 years of knitting there will still be the odd abbreviation on a cable pattern that will completely throw me and I won't have a clue what it means.  I would like to put together a comprehensive list of abbreviations connected to cable patterns that may be helpful to someone visiting my blog.  If you know of an unusual cable abbreviation that may be useful to add please leave me a comment below and I will add to the list.
