Cast On 60 Stitches
IRISH MOSS KNIT STITCH EDGES (optional)
You may wish to add an edge on the bottom and top of your piece. In my examples, I added 4 rows of the Irish Moss knit stitch before starting the cable pattern. Of course, that means ending with 4 rows of this knit stitch before binding off, too.
