Cast on the required number of stitches onto a 29-inch, or longer, circular knitting needle. Slide the stitches to the cable portion of the circular knitting needle. Pinch the cable in half and then pull to create a large loop.

Arrange half the stitches on one knitting needle tip, and half on the other tip.

Hold the knitting needle in your left hand, and pull out the part of the needle that holds the “tail end” so that the stitches that were on the needle tip are now resting on the cable. Begin working the stitches that are still on the opposite needle as if you were working on straight knitting needles.  At the end of the row, simply turn the work and re-position the stitches so half the stitches to be worked are on the needle tip and the other half are resting on the cable.

Continue to work in this manner until desired length.
