For anyone who can’t follow the instructions, see the chart that shows where armhole increases are worked and where the cables are shifted toward the center. Note: the markers are as follows - the ribbing at each armhole are marked by the first and sixth markers and you should have 7 sts of ribbing on each side (no increases are worked in these sts). The lace pattern is worked between the first and second markers (at the beginning of RS rows) and between the fifth and sixth markers (at the end of RS rows) and all increases, both to shape the armhole and to move the cables, are worked between these 2 sets of markers. The stitches between the third and fourth markers (on the back) are worked in stockinette, and the decreases used to shift the cables are worked in this area (k2tog after the third marker and ssk before the fourth marker).
