This advanced cable pattern incorporates a unique method for creating a raised horizontal strand, giving your work a three-dimensional texture that will impress everyone who sees it. To navigate the complex design seamlessly, we strongly recommend using 17 stitch markers. These markers will help you track your progress through the detailed chart, making the experience more enjoyable and less daunting.

The innovative intarsia effect is achieved by dropping the Copper Bamboo thread while exclusively working the cable strands with the background wool, creating a beautiful contrast that highlights the intricate designs.
