I read about Gnarled Cables in the Walker Treasury Project.
I started with the Gnarled Cable Beret pattern and then did some mods.
Lately I read this post: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/techniques/2588044#5

I am sure I understood the basic idea and now I have to do some knitting to find out my preferred cable. Will be back soon. Hopefully.

I am thinking about some 4/3 cables... And maybe I will replace increase stitches with yo. Let's see how it turns out.

Parameters to play with:

1 stitch count: 7, 8, 9 stitches for the cable?
2 type of increases: with or without holes?
3 row count: how many rows between the cable rows? 4 direction of cables: front or back or combined?
5 cables section in stockinette stitch?
6 where do I place the first and the last cable row?

ssk: I am using improved ssk.
