In this video, Laura from Purl Soho shows you how to work Mock Cable Rib. The Mock Cable Rib is a lovely stitch pattern that closely resembles a Right Twist and creates a fully cabled fabric without all the fuss of a cable stitch holder. By simply reordering the stitches of a 2x2 rib, this technique will become second nature after just a couple of rows!

NOTE: At 01:47 of the video above, we demonstrate Mock Cable Rib Purlwise, incorrectly saying you will need to know this technique when working Mock Cable in the round. However, a Mock Cable Purlwise is only necessary if you are working a double-sided Mock Cable fabric in the round, like in our Mock Cable Columns Hat, or a Mock Cable on the wrong-side row of any flat-knit item. Sorry for the confusion!
