I classify this pattern as “Advanced”. A step up from advanced beginner. Knowing how to “read your knitting” is important so you can tell where you stopped when you have to put your knitting down. There are no quick fixes if you make a mistake in the middle of a cable repeat. You must be familiar with knits, purls, knitting in the round, cables and knit two together & knit three together decreases.
