GAUGE:

2 pattern reps + 5 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Scarf pattern, with 1 strand. 16 sts + 9 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in Bag pattern, with 2 strands held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Row 1: Ch 4, turn, sk first dc, dc in next dc, ch 2, 2/2 Cable, ch 2, (BPTR around each of next 4 dc, ch 2, 2/2 Cable, ch 2) twice, dc in last 2 sts – 3 pattern reps at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 4, turn, sk first dc, dc in next dc, ch 2, BPTR around each of next 4 tr, ch 2, sk next ch-2 sp, (2/2 Cable, ch 2, sk next ch-2 sp, BPTR around each of next 4 tr, ch 2, sk next ch-2 sp) twice, dc in next dc, dc in 3rd ch of turning ch.
