Gauge:

28 sts and 34 rows = 4 inches/10cm across 2 cables and 1 garter st panel with larger needles
18 sts and 26 rows = 4 inches/10cm in St
st with larger needles
To save time, take time to check gauge.

• T3R (twist 3 right): SI next st onto en ,rid hold in back, knit next 2 sts from LH needle, then pi from cn.


• T3L (twist 3 left): SI next 2 sts onto cn and hold in front, purl next st from LH needle, then k2 from cn.


• T5RP (twist 5 right purl): SI next 3 sts onto en and hold in back, knit next 2 sts from LH needle, then place purl st from en back onto LH needle, p1, k2 from cn, being careful not to twist.


• T5LP (twist 5 left purl): SI next 3 sts onto en and hold in front, knit next 2 sts from LH needle, then place purl st from en back onto LH needle, p1, k2 from cn, being careful not to twist.


• B1 (place bead on st): When you reach the st that receives the bead, slide the bead of your choice onto the crochet hook. Using the crochet hook with the bead on it, lift st off the lh needle purlwise, and slide tie bead down over the st. Place this st on tie RH needle, being careful not to twist fie st. (This is a st slipped purlwise that acquired a bead during the slipping.)
