Hi friends! I decided to provide a video tutorial on the Knit Drinken Cable Stitch that I used in the Drunken Tote Bag Pattern.
This post contains affiliate links. Please see the bottom of the post for more information.
The Drunken Cables are knitted with 10 stitches. The stitch pattern is in multiples of 20. When working the cables, you slip 5 stitches onto a cable needle and because of this, it can get a little tight so I recommend that you keep that in mind and work your stitches loosely or go up a needle size.

Notes: This cable stitch is worked over 10 stitches in multiples of 20 stitches + 2 (1 on each side). Cable stitches are worked on the right side of the work. You can start on row 2 (even though i started on row 4) Knit loosely so that the cables aren't too tight.
