Step-by-Step Instructions

Back Panel

1. Cast on 70 stitches using your US size 10 (6mm) knitting needles.
2. Work in 2x2 ribbing for the first 10 rows:
   • Row 1: *Knit 2, Purl 2*; repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
   • Row 2: *Purl 2, Knit 2*; repeat from * to * until the end of the row.
   • Repeat these two rows until you have completed 10 rows.
3. Row 11: Begin the 3D cable pattern. Follow the chart for 3D cables, alternating between bobbles and cables every 8 stitches.
   • For the bobble: Knit 3 stitches, turn your work, purl those 3 stitches, turn again, knit those 3 stitches, and then knit the next stitch to incorporate the bobble.
   • For the cable: Use a cable needle to hold the first stitch in front, knit the next stitch, then knit the stitch from the cable needle.
4. Continue in pattern until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Bind off all stitches loosely.
