Knitted cabled braid for belts, bookmarks or embelishments.
A tutorial for making a cabled braid that you can use to make a belt or add to other projects.
You will need to use knitting needles appropriately sized for the yarn you are using.
If you find it is coming up too loose then use smaller needles, too tight use larger ones.
You can knit this without a cable needle and there is a tutorial on my blog here: http://buttonsandpickles.com/cabling-without-a-cable-needle-how-to/

I would keep everything relaxed and cast off loosely. If you don't everything gets tight and tricky to do.
