Special Instructions: Color Changes Work last stitch of working color leaving last two loops on hook, draw new color through two loops. Color change made. Repeat as instructed. Do not cut previous color when changing, carry dropped strand loosely behind stitches being worked. Conceal Carrying Colors: To work over a carried strand(s) of yarn think of the strand as part of the stitch being worked into. On the wrong side WS insert the hook underneath the strand(s) of carried yarn and into the stitch, yarn over, draw the working yarn through and complete the stitch. *Concealing two strands only needs to be done behind the center four cables. Notes: I highly recommend making a swatch of the cable band for better understanding. For purposes of this pattern Color A is the grey # 900 and Color B is the multi #108. You can reverse the colors making the multi the body with a solid cable, or use 2 skeins of same color with no color changes.
