These simple cables are easy to create but they can be used to add beautiful textures to your tunisian crochet projects. Scroll down for the video tutorial and the written instructions.
The 2/2 RC or right cross and the 2/2 LC or left cross, span over 4 stitches long and can be created with a second crochet hook or with a cable stitch holder and I have both versions for you all today!
