This project was so easy! And I’m very satisfied with the results. I do not own cable needles, but I used this YouTube video to make my cables. If you go to the Lion Brand pattern page someone left a comment on how to make these so that you could add thumb holes. I hope you’ll give this pattern a try. I completed it in 2 days because I could see results after finishing row 6. Happy knitting!
