Gingerbread Sampler Afghan Square

[50sts x 60]

Pattern: Gingerbread

I wanted the cable pattern to be on both edges so I modified the chart a bit. Here's my new chart. (Note, my picture only shows there being 3 repeats; but my "fix" for the sizing is to do 4 repeats)
Abbreviations:

  • SL1 = insert needle as if to purl, but just slip the stitch from the left needle to the right

  • cn = cable needle

  • LC = Slip 2 sts to cn and hold to front, k2, k2 from cn
CO 50
Row 1 (RS) K1, *P1, k4; repeat from *, end p1, k1
Row 2 *P1, k1, p4, k1, p1, k2; repeat from * 4 times, p1, k1, p4, k1, p1
Row 3 *K1, p1, LC, p1, k3; repeat from * 4 times, k1, p1, LC, p1, k1
Row 4 *P1, k1, p4, k1, p1, k2; repeat from * 4 times, p1, k1, p4, k1, p1
Row 5 K1, *P1, k4; repeat from *, end p1, k1
Row 6 *P1, k1, p4, k1, p1, k2; repeat from * 4 times, p1, k1, p4, k1, p1
Repeat rows 1-6 (ten times)
BO purlwise
