I'm a little confused on the instructions. On row 3 it says to work the 3rd rows of panels B and C, but the 1st row of panel A. I'm not sure if that's because rows 1 and 3 of panel A are the same or because I'm supposed to start over on that panel. So on the next row of the pattern, would I work row 2 of panel A or row 4?

You are working that row because it is the 3rd row in the panel, you'll be on row 4 after that row in that pattern.

Okay, I feel a bit dumb, now...what does T7B/T7F stand for? I would love to make this for this winter.

Hi tracygoode, don't feel dumb! According to Caron, T7B means "Slip next 4 sitches onto a cable needle and hold at back of work. K3, then (P1, K3) from cable needle." Then, T7F means "Slip next 3 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at front of work. (K3. P1), then K3 from cable needle." Thank you actually for bringing this to our attention; we'll update this pattern page as soon as we can to include all the necessary abbreviations. Happy knitting! -Editors of AllFreeKnitting

I am in the middle of doing this project, but I'm confused about the instructions. I have knitted the 8" of edging and completed the first three rows of the pattern. It says cable panels A, B and C have now in position, but I am confused for the panel sequence for the rest of the rows. So, for row 4, what is the panel sequence?
