Tweed Twisted Cable Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

I have always been a fan of texture in crochet and what better way to bring it than with a Twisted Cable Crochet Stitch? It’s one of my favourites for creating all sorts of designs but especially hats, scarves and accessories.

With only a two row repeat the pattern is easy to memorise and once you get the hang of where to pop the long treble crochet stitches you’ll be making without even thinking.
