Work A.1 like this: Place 4 stitches on cable needle behind the piece, knit 2, work 3 stitches in each of the 4 stitches on cable needle (work front, back, front loop of each stitch). 8 increased stitches. Work A.2 like this: Place 2 stitches on cable needle in front of piece, work 3 stitches in each of the next 4 stitches (work front, back, front loop of each stitch), knit 2 from cable needle. 8 increased stitches.

Loosely slip the first stitch on the left needle onto the right needle as if to purl. Hold the knitting yarn behind the work. 2. Insert the left needle behind the slipped stitch and between the slipped stitch and the first stitch on the right needle. 3. Make a yarn over on the right needle and pull the yarn over through the stitch to make 1 new stitch on the right needle. 4. Drop the outermost part of the stitch off the left needle and then knit the second strand of the stitch through the front loop.
