Beware twisted stitches
When working the instruction C8F, be careful not to twist the stitches on the loose-hanging cable needle and be sure to keep the RS facing you when you knit these sts. You will not have any previous stitches as you would in normal cabling. You will need more yarn for the garter stitch Coral design as it ‘concertinas’ more, producing a chunkier design.
