Mystery Smock Along Clue 3

Clue 3: We are going to stitch a Cable Trellis combination this week. Beginning on Row 3, pleat one, just under the pleating thread, stitch a Triple Crown: up cable, down cable, up cable.

 

Travel down to Row 3 ¼.

 

Travel down to Row 3 ½

 

Stitch a Down cable at Row 3 ½.

 

Travel up to Row 3 ¼.

 

Travel up to Row 3 and repeat the sequence from the beginning.

 

Stitch a mirror image beginning on Row 9, pleat one, just above the pleating thread, stitch a down cable, up cable, down cable, travel a ¼ step up to Row 8 ¾, travel ¼ step up to Row 8 ½, stitch an up cable on Row 8 ½, travel down to Row 8 ¾, travel down to Row 9 and repeat the sequence.

Bead options: You have two options for beads on this clue. First you can place a bead on each of the horizontal stitches on Row 3 ½ and Row 8 ½. Alternatively, you can place three beads on the first Triple Crown on Row 3, skip the next Triple Crown (remember I said this is a 16 stitch repeat) and continuing across the row, beading every other Triple Crown.
