Pattern Notes
Please read pattern through before beginning and ensure you have all the requirements needed to complete the piece. This pattern is worked in rows from the bottom up.
The slip stitches may be created using the 5.0 mm hook if necessary to keep the stitches loose.
Cable: The cable is created as instructed within the pattern by creating 4 tabs as shown in the diagram and crossing those tabs over each other in the order given within the pattern. Make sure the tabs are worked either in front of work or behind work as instructed to give the distinctive look of the cable. Always work the stitches in the usual order unless instructed otherwise.
