To cable means to make a cable stitch pattern on a knitted garment. This stitching pattern makes a twisted cord effect on a sweater. It is particularly popular on fisherman's sweaters. It is a raised decorative effect done generally in the same color as the body of the sweater. The cable stitch is a pattern, but it is a repeating pattern that does not change within the garment. Since the pattern will generally give you the stitch directions for one cable, it refers to this particular bit of instruction as "to cable" or "cable stitch". In general, to cable means to use this bit of knitting as a repeating pattern within a garment direction. What will happen within the pattern is this. The pattern will give direction for one cable and then say "cable" and continue on with the directions for other items within the pattern. Things such as bobbles and raised diamonds are a larger pattern item than a cable, so the pattern expects you to make your cable twists as you do in the pattern without having to write the directions every time. You should be an experienced knitter if you attempt a cabled pattern. If you are having problems with the pattern, try this. Write down the cable pattern separately as rows, count the rows, and rewrite the pattern so that you can see where this pattern counts in the other pattern. Once you do this, the cabling process will go much faster.
