Maybe I’m blind, and please tell me if I am, but I can’t seem to find the cabling pattern. The pattern says repeat cable pattern, but I can’t find it. Please help, I’m up to that point int the pattern, and can’t go any further.
I am so sorry. :S I updated the pattern. It now includes the cable pattern.
The pattern is written for a preemie. The pattern states that it also comes in newborn and baby sizes. Can you tell me where I can find the baby size pattern?
Thank you.
Just what I was looking for, appreciate it for putting up.
Just wanted to clarify the instructions for the cable pattern it says…. R1-3 K4, P2…the round however ends with P1 is this correct? Do you start row 2 with the second purl or per the pattern with K4?? Which means each row actually end with P1? Need help quick from anyone that had done this as in knitting now!
Never mind. Looks like I lost a stitch somehow
I’m sorry you lost a stitch, Kelly! :/
Best wishes! ~ Joy
