The Staghorn and Reverse Staghorn Cable are a beautifully textured cables that will add intrigue and dimension to any knitting project. Both cables are worked over a series of 16 stitches and consist of a 6 round repeat. We will begin with the Staghorn cable first. The cable gets its name because it has the appearance of a male deer or “stag” with long horn-like cables.

REVERSE STAGHORN CABLE
The Reverse Staghorn is cable is simply the inverse of the staghorn cable. If you were to filp the staghorn cable over, it would look like the reverse staghorn cable and vice versa. Pretty cool right!?
