Step 1. Work this step 4 times over next 40 stitches:

Crochet 10 FPtr/dc, 2ch, make 1 FPtr/dc over last stitch, then turn and work 9 BPtr/dc. Turn, make 2 ch and 10 FPtr/dc. Work 2ch, make 1 FPtr/dc over last stitch, then turn and work again 9 BPtr/dc. Turn, make 2 ch and 10 FPtr/dc,

2 ch, work 1 sl.st in first space of 2 ch, 2ch, 1 sl.st in next space of 2ch and 1 sl.st in last FPtr/dc below.

Now you have four cable parts.

Continue crochet the row: 5 BPtr/dc , 1 FPpuf. st over next of 3 stitches, 5 BPtr/dc, 1 h.tr / h.dc in second ch, turn.

Row 6: 2ch, 6 FPtr/dc , 1 BPtr/dc, 6 FPtr/dc.
