front edge.
4. The Plait Cable can be worked by following written instructions or the
Chart. Read RS rows of Chart from right to left and WS rows from left to
right.
5. A circular needle is used to accommodate the number of stitches. Work
back and forth in rows on the circular needle as if working on straight
needles.
6. When you see 'work in pattern as established' in the instructions, this
means you should work the next row of the pattern sts, lining up sts as in
previous rows.
