Fold Over Cable Knit Pants

A simple, wearable knitting pattern for fold-over cable knit pants, designed with a comfortable ribbed waistband and a classic all-over cable sequence. These pants are knitted seamlessly in the round, with ribbing at the fold-over waistband and cables worked throughout the "body" and legs. The cable pattern gives the pants a little more detail while still keeping them easy to wear and style. The pattern is best suited to intermediate knitters, as it involves working cables and following a repeating cable sequence. The pants were designed to be comfortable and wearable — something that can be dressed up or down and worn with a simple top, oversized knit, or layered with your favourite everyday pieces.
