This knitting tutorial will demonstrate 3 ways to knit T2B (aka 1/1 Right Purl Cross (RPC) or C2B) & T2F (aka 1/1 Left Purl Cross (LPC) or C2F) cables, which are simply created by passing a knit stitch over a purl stitch.
Because knits are being passed over purls, you'll usually find these cables on a reverse stockinette stitch background.
Don't let the many names put you off; all you need to know is that they are narrow cables, they involve purl stitches, the T2B travels to the right, and the T2F travels to the left.
Out of the 3 methods, 1 uses a cable needle and the other 2 don't. Usually people avoid using a cable needle for such narrow cables, as using one can be more time consuming and awkward in comparison.
I hope you find this useful!
