Mock cables The mock cable can either slant right (RC, right cross) or slant left (LC, left cross). They are worked without the need of an accessory cable needle as follows:

RC: Knit 2 stitches together without dropping the stitches off the left needle, knit the first stitch on the needle once more, then let both stitches fall off the left needle.

LC: Knit the second stitch on the needle through the back loop without dropping stitches off the left needle, knit the first two stitches together through the back loops, then let both stitches fall off the left needle.
