Elongated Caliper Cables Tutorial

How do you knit elongated caliper cables? I am going to show you how to knit elongated caliper cables, E-p stitch (elongated purl) or E-k stitch (elongated knit) stitches in BrenJS Knits patterns. You'll see how I work the two rows that are needed to make the elongated caliper cables. No cable needles are needed and in fact, they get in the way. A locking stitch marker can be helpful, but I don't really use one. Fair warning - these are addictive.

Elongated caliper cables really are a lot of fun to work. They add a very distinctive look to your knitting. The basic instructions for cables are always worked over two rows of knitting. This video can be applied to cables of and stitch width. 

Note that until you work about 5 or 6 cables (that's 10 to 12 rows or rounds) they are going to look terrible. Keep going. Once these stack up, they start to really look good.
 
If you have any questions, please ask. I'm always happy to help. I might even do a video just for you.

These cables are used in many of my patterns including the Shawllusion Cowl, Just Wait for It Hat, Broken Reflection Mitts, and more.
