   • Row 2: *P4, k2; repeat from * to end.
   • Row 3: *C4F (Cable 4 Front), p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
   • Repeat these 4 rows for a total of 16 rows to create the cable pattern.
5. Return to Lavender Yarn:
   • Switch back to the lavender yarn and work in stockinette stitch for another 20 rows.
6. Finish with Garter Stitch:
   • Change back to the silver yarn and work in garter stitch for 6 final rows.
7. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches to complete your piece.
8. Seaming:
   • Fold the knitted piece in half, right sides together.
