I made this in a pretty teal color and just love it! The collar is a bit bulky, but I still love it.

I need help to figure out Row 19 in the Cable Pattern. Can anybody let me know the sequence? I am new to knitting cables and unable to figure it out by myself. Thank you very much for your efforts!! HELP!! )

I see the Cable Pattern Chart which has Row 19. Thank you for posting this. I am excited to continue with this gorgeous Cardigan! )

i do like the pattern just started making this for my daughter in law for christmas. i noticed in the cable pattern instructions row 19 is missing. all it says is p2, T5B then the rest is blank. i think i can work it out but wanted to point this out.

Hi, I am new to cable knitting and was wondering if you have Row 19 in the Cable pattern figured out? I would appreciate anyone helping me with this row so I can continue the sweater. Thank you!

Did anyone ever answer you? Did you figure it out? I don't want to start until I know I have this information? Thank you.
