No. 15 - Test Swatch

The pattern requirements state that there must be two purl stitches before the cable, do you think it would matter if that amount increased over the pattern?

Would you test this pattern out for me?


Please ignore the bottom part of the cable. It was my first attempt at working out the pattern. By the time I got to the end I discovered I cast on 19 sts instead of the required 20 sts. The top part is better for reference.

Pattern Notes
C3B = Hold one stitch behind work using a cable needle, knit two stitches, purl the stitch from cable needle
C3F = Hold two stitches in front of work using a cable needle, purl one stitch, knit the two stitches from cable needle
C4F = Hold two stitches in front of work using a cable needle, knit two stitches, knit the two stitches from cable needle

  1. I will test it out today, in fact, I was going to re-do a couple of my cable swatches using the cable cast-on. So this a good way to test two things, your pattern and the cast-on technique. Later,
