[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting pattern question

[Susan Roe]

I believe with this pattern you are actually doing a 4 stitch cable, but on 
the back side, you will be doing some sort of seed stitch.  So, on the front 
side when they say :
Row 7: P10, slip 2 to double point needle (dpn), hold in back, k2,
This is the first half of your cable then:
p2 from dpn,
This is the second half of the cable, therefore your first 4 cable stitches 
are K2, P2 and your second 4 cable stitches are P2, K2.  This should mean 
that from the back side you would come up on the cable stitches as K2, P2 
and P2, K2, and that is how you should knit them at that point in your 
pattern.
Row 8 should look like this.
Row 8: P10, K2, P2, K4, P2, K4, P10.
