How to Knit a 3-Strand Cable Braid: C6B & C6F Step by Step

Learn how to knit a three-strand cable braid using two simple cable crosses — C6B (cable 6 back) and C6F (cable 6 front). In this 3.5-minute tutorial I'll walk you through both techniques step by step, show you exactly how to hold your cable needle, and how the back and front crosses alternate to build a clean plaited braid. This is the same cable braid border used in my Knit Cable Braid Tree Skirt pattern. Worked here in super bulky yarn on 10 mm needles, so the stitches are big and easy to see — perfect if you've never cabled before. 🧶 Get the Knit Cable Braid Tree Skirt pattern: seeloveshare.it In this video: • What C6B and C6F mean • How to slip stitches to the cable needle (front vs. back) • Working the 8-row braid repeat • Tips for keeping your cable even Happy knitting! — Ashleigh, SeeLoveShare #knitting #cableknitting #howtoknit #knittingtutorial #cablestitch #knitcables
