Notes:
Stitch sequences outlined in (red) denote rows or segments of the chart that are repeated in the round. Stitch sequences outlined in green denote repeats that are simplified from the chart. Check the written instructions for correct stitch counts.
When the number of stitches in a round changes, the new stitch count is written at the end of the round in (blue italics)
The Ribbing Section can be made as long as desired, but I suggest making it at least three inches long. (18 repeats of round 52)
Bind off loosely in the knit one purl one pattern
In repeat section row 35, save the first cable cross in the start of the round until the end of the row. Be sure to take out the place marker, knit the first two crossed stitches, and replace the marker, then knit the second two stitches. Continue with pattern as if the row started normally.
