NOTES
This pattern consists of four triangles sew together to form a square.
The pattern starts with 2 sts and you will be increasing 1 st at beginning of each row until you have completed the pattern.
It is easier to begin with 14” straight needles, then when there are enough sts, transfer to circular needle.
When working the cable pattern, use a marker to indicate the beginning of the design.
