Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nk = knit
\np = purl
\nc2b = cable 2 back \u2013 Slip the next stitch onto cable needle and hold in back of work. Knit the next stitch from left-hand needle, knit the stitch from the cable needle.
\nt3f = twist 3 front \u2013 Slip the next 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in front of work. Purl the next stitch from the left-hand needle, knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.
\nt3b = twist 3 back \u2013 Slip the next stitch onto cable needle and hold behind work. Knit the next 2 stitchs from left-hand needle, purl the stitch from the cable needle.
\nc4f = cable 4 front \u2013 Slip the next 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in front of work. Knit the next 2 stitches from left-hand needle, knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.
\nc4b = cable 4 back \u2013 Slip the next 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in back of work. Knit the next 2 stitches from left-hand needle, knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.
\nk2tog = knit two together
\nssk = slip one knitwise, slip one knitwise, insert left needle into front of both slipped stitches and knit.
\ns1k-k2tog-psso =\u00a0slip1 knitwise, k2tog, pass slipped stitch over
\nk3tog = knit three together<\/p>\n

The c2b can be made without a cable needle. There are several methods for doing that. I have a\u00a0video\u00a0<\/a>of my method.<\/p>\n

\nSmall Adult = 88
\nMedium Adult = 96
\nLarge Adult = 104
\nExtra-Large Adult = 112<\/p>\n

Join to knit in the round. Divide stitches between double pointed needles or needles for a magic loop. Divide with multiples of 8 on each needle.<\/p>\n

Repeat instructions across the round:<\/p>\n
