Reversible Cable Blocks

PATTERN NOTES

Beginning in row 3, front post double crochet stitches are worked around posts of stitches 2 rows below to create cable pattern. Weave in loose ends as work progresses. Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.

SPECIAL STITCHES

Crossed front post double crochet (crossed fpdc): Sk next fpdc, fpdc around next fpdc, working in front of fpdc just made, fpdc around sk fpdc. Single crochet join (sc join): Place slip knot on hook, insert hook in indicated st, yo and pull up a lp, yo and draw through both lps on hook.
