Hi everyone,
My new project is a doll-sized classic tennis sweater, designed as I
remember them to be---white with a thin blue and red stripe, V-neck,
and done overall in a very flat, bas-relief-type cable stitch. How can
I recreate this flat type of cable instead of the regular "chunky"
style one?

Wendy make the cables from 1 , 2 or 3 st.
this will be enough for a dollsize sweater , the 2 is the neated ,
you k the 2nd st on left needle . DO not pull it off the needle than
you k the first st and pull both off the needle together ,

You can also make what is sometimes called a mock cable, using
traveling stitches rather than cable stitches. Here's an example for a
four-stitch mock cable:
(purl back on alternate rows)
Row 2: K2, work traveling stitch as K2tog leaving stitches on needle,
then K first stitch again, dropping both stitches off needle.
Row 4: K1, work traveling stitch, K1
Row 6: work traveling stitch, K2
Alan
Repeat these rows.

that is good advice Alan ,, of course on such tiny knitted dolls
clothes one could even embroider the cables ,,
ps i knitted dolls clothes with embroidery floss as well as with thin
cottons ,,,and once even from floss used to repair socks ,,,

Thank you both. But I'm having trouble understanding how to do these.
I will have to sit down and work with what you have said. Then I'll
get back to you with either a YAY! or with more questions! hahaha! :)
