This Honey comb pattern is worked with the help of a a cable needle following a chart (1 edge st each side K on every row):
We already have worked 1 repetition of the chart plus the first 2 rows of next repetition. Now we are starting from 3rd row down in right corner on the chart like this:
3rd row (RS): K1 edge st, slip 2 sts on cable needle behind piece, K2, K2 from cable needle. Then slip 2 sts on cable needle in front of piece, K2, K2 from cable needle, K1 edge st.
4th row (WS): K1 edge st, P across, K1 edge st
5th row (RS): K1 edge st, K across, K1 edge st
6th row (WS): as 4th row.
7th row (RS): K1 edge st, slip 2 sts on cable needle in front of piece, K2, K2 from cable needle. Then slip 2 sts on cable needle behind piece, K2, K2 from cable needle, K1 edge st
8th row (WS): as 4th row.
Now 2 full vertical repeats are worked of this pretty honey comb pattern.

I have been working on the My Honey sweater-I am confused as to when I should add the markers dividing the front and the back. Thank you for clearing that up for me-

Dear Paula, in this pattern divide piece as follows: work 62-62-70-70-78 sts, insert a marker (= front piece), work 112-112-128-128-144 sts, insert a marker (= back piece), work the last 62-62-70-70-78 sts (= front piece). Happy knitting! 08.12.2017 - 08:50

I am confused about how to do this stitch on a circular needle. Do I knit and purl rows that do not need the cable needle?

Dear Mrs Williams, if you are working in rows with the circular needle, just follow the pattern and video (RS rows: Knit the sts and cables - WS rows: Purl all sts) - if you are working in the round, you will K all sts in diagram (no WS rows). Happy knitting! 13.02.2015 - 11:15
