Details & Finishes
Cable knit is a knitting technique in which groups of stitches are crossed over one another to create raised, rope-like twists running through the fabric. The interwoven cables add texture, density, and warmth, giving sweaters, cardigans, and beanies a classic, cozy, heritage look most associated with Aran and fisherman knits.
Because the cables pull the fabric in, cable-knit pieces are thick, structured, and insulating — substantial rather than fine. Patterns range from simple single twists to elaborate interlocking braids.
Cable knit is a hallmark of preppy and old money knitwear and a staple cold-weather texture alongside ribbing.
