Stitch-tionary: Reversible cables

This is my first attempt at cable knits, and it wasn't half as complicated as I thought it would be. The pattern is worked over 6 rows.

Rows 1 - 5 : K2, P2

Row 6: *K2, P2, place 4 stiches on cable needle, K2, P2, put the stitches from the cable needle back on your left needle, K2, P2,* repeat until you have 4 stitches left, K2, P2

I adapted this pattern from Silver's knitting patterns.

To gauge out your project, calculate the number of cables you want and multiply by 12 (you need 12 stitches for each cable section), then add 4 stitches to the end to complete the edge. My cowl has 76 stitches (6 cables x 12 stitches + 4 extra).
