Crocheting Cables

I have been wanting to make cables for a long time now and finally looked up how to do them in crochet :) normally it is primarily associated with knitting and since I am not very good at knitting I am glad it can be replicated in crochet. I think These will eventually make very nice finger-less gloves.




 I found the basic instructions at http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa062798.htm  . The cable itself is front and back post stitches, where you skip 3 stitches and then go back after doing the next 3 stitches. The fabric on either side of the cable is made up of half-double crochets.
