As we continue our crochet cable journey, we try the Rope Cable Pattern today!
Over the past few weeks I have enjoyed teaching you a variety of crochet cable stitches including a Straight Cable, Twisted Cable and Chain Link Cable. The Rope Cable crochet pattern is a more classic looking crochet pattern. The pattern is a fairly easy pattern to remember and it adds a great texture to your crochet project.

The Materials:
For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn in one colour. It is a worsted weight, 100% cotton yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm birchwood crochet hook by Rowan Yarns. However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose, even experiment with stripes of colour!
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you enjoy the tutorial below, be sure to also check out some of the many other crochet stitch tutorials on my site and pin this for later!

Crochet Rope Cable Stitch:
Stitches and Abbreviations:
Ch – Chain
Fpdtr – Front Post Double Triple/Treble Stitch
Hdc – Half Double Crochet Stitch
Rpt – Repeat
Yo – yarn over
To begin you will make a foundation chain. For this pattern, the cables themselves require a multiple of 7 stitches. Then you simply work out how many stitches you would like to have in between the cables and then add one for your foundation chain.
For this particular swatch where I will work three stitches in between each cable, I will chain 34.
Notes:
- Pattern is written in American English terms
- Weave in ends as needed
- This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial.
