Knit-easy - 6 Cable Back Twist


For a six cable back twist the instructions in knitting patterns will read 6CB.  In the 4CF pattern I used 4 stitches and 4 rows to create a very twisted and textured sample, in this sample I wanted to create a longer cable and added two more rows to the basic pattern, before doing the next twist.
