Here Patterson cites the kind of authority whose judgment is sometimes flawed-- but in this case, loving appreciation shines through. "My husband," she confides, "thinks the stitch pattern looks like a bunch of candy wrappers.

The last page of the pattern includes instructions for making the cable with one cable needle, instead of two."
