Stop Avoiding Cable Patterns—Start Creating Gorgeous Textured Crochet

Have you ever fallen in love with a crochet pattern featuring stunning cables but thought, "That's way too complicated for me"? Maybe you've tried cables before and ended up with stitches that were too tight, confused about where to place your hook, or mysteriously short (or over) on stitch counts at the end of a row.

Here's the truth: cables aren't hard—they just require understanding a few key techniques that most patterns don't explain clearly. And once you grasp how post stitches work and where to place them, cables become one of the most satisfying and impressive techniques in your crochet toolkit.

What You'll Learn

In this hands-on 3-hour class, I'll share the secrets to creating beautiful cables that pop off the fabric with dimension and grace. You'll walk away confident and ready to tackle any cable pattern that's been sitting in your queue.

We'll cover:

How post stitches really work – Master front post and back post stitches with close-up demonstrations that make the technique click instantly

Creating cables that lean left and right – Learn the simple 4-stitch cable in both directions, understanding exactly where to place your hook every single time

Making traveling cables – Discover how to move cables diagonally across your fabric for dynamic, eye-catching designs

The back-of-work check – Learn the one trick that catches mistakes immediately, before you've worked too many rows to fix them easily

Proper tension and drape – Understand how hook size and stitch choice affect whether your cables pop beautifully or disappear into the fabric

Troubleshooting common mistakes – Know what to do when your stitch count is off, your cables are too tight, or you're not sure where to insert your hook next

Why This Class Works

Unlike tutorials that rush through cable techniques or assume you already understand post stitches, this class takes a patient, step-by-step approach. I don't just show you what to do—I explain why it works and how to check your progress, so you truly understand the process.

You'll practice on real cable patterns during class, working through left-leaning cables, right-leaning cables, and even a traveling cable design. By the end of our time together, you'll have samples you're proud of and the confidence to tackle any cable pattern you encounter.

Who This Class Is For

This class is perfect for you if you're an advanced beginner or intermediate crocheter who:

✓ Knows the six basic crochet stitches (chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and triple crochet)
✓ Understands the concept of post stitches (we'll review them thoroughly, so don't worry if you're rusty)
✓ Wants to add impressive texture and dimension to your crochet projects
✓ Has been curious about cables but didn't know where to start
✓ Tried cables before and struggled—this time will be different

You Deserve Patterns and Classes You Can Trust

For over 27 years, I've been helping crocheters build confidence with techniques that once felt out of reach. My teaching style is warm, patient, and clear—because crochet should be fun, not frustrating.

My Italian grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 7 years old, and I've spent nearly three decades refining how I teach the techniques that seem scary at first but become favorites once you understand them. Cables are one of those techniques—they look complex, but they're built on simple, logical steps.

Whether you've been crocheting for decades or just a few years, this class will give you the tools and confidence to create the beautiful, dimensional cable pieces you've been admiring.
