In this DROPS video we show how to knit a cable over 4 stitches without using a cable needle. We show both a cable to the right and to the left in this video.
Cable turning right: yarn in front of work, slip 2 sts onto right needle, yarn to back of work, K2, from behind pick up the 2 slipped sts on left needle, drop the first 2 sts on right needle + 2 slipped sts and then put the first two sts back on right needle again, yarn to back of work and K2.
Cable turning left: slip 2 sts, K2, from front pick up the 2 slipped sts on left needle, drop the first 2 sts on right needle + 2 slipped sts and then put the first two sts back on right needle again, K2.

thank so much for video
When I go from left to right do I then pick up from the front for the first cable set and from the back for the second, or does it remain the same?

How many stitches do you have on your needle?
@hereshopingforfame We are using DROPS Eskimo 100% wool.
I was wondering what yarn this was? It looks beautiful. Great tutorial as well. Thank you.
@Nicky35747 Hi, we are using needles size 9 mm / US 13
very nice and easy, but it doesn't work in the round…or am I mistaken??
Thank you, this is an excellent demonstration, very clear!
