Use:

• DK yarn held double
• needles 4.5 mm
• needle cable 120 cm

Cast on 303 stitches (approx double of what suggested in pattern: 153 sts):

• 11 sts for right border
• 281 sts for central motif (10sts x 28 repeats, plus 1)
• 11 sts for left border

Check how much yarn used at the end of the first border, so I know how much yarn to leave for the final border: about 4.5 balls or 115g yarn for the border until the start of the main section.

Continue until yarn is getting low then proceed with border
