Front
1. COR. With WY, CO 92 (98, 102) sts. K 6 R. Break off.
2. Change to MY and work as for back, but work the center 18 sts in cable pattern either from chart or as follows: (Note that stitch/needle numbers are written starting left to center. After establishing the converted sts from Row 1, you may want to wait to convert sts until you have knitted approximately 20 more rows.)
Row 1: K 1 R. COL.
a. Convert st 9 on the LHS of “0” to a K st.
b. Remove sts 7 and 8 onto two 1-prong tools.
c. Place st 7 on ndl 8 and st 8 on needle 7: LHS cross.
d. Convert st 6.
e. Work LHS cross over sts 5 and 4.
f. Convert st 3.
g. Leave sts 2 and 1 on LHS of 0 and sts 1 and 2 on RHS of 0 as they are.
h. Repeat steps f-a above for sts 3-9 on RHS.
Rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10: K.
Row 3: Rep Row 1, but also work a 4 st cable over the center 4 sts: Using your 2-prong tools, remove center 4 sts onto the 2-prong tools and place the 2 sts on the RHS tool onto two empty needles on the LHS and the 2 sts on the LHS onto the two empty needles on the RHS.
Rows 5, 7, 9: Repeat Row 1. Repeat Rows 3-10 for patt st.
3. Continue with established patt over center 18 sts until same length as Back. RC=83 (89, 93)
4. Work Top and Bottom Ribbings as for Back.
5. BO across in backstitch.
