Casting on 2 x 12 sts. Yay, toe ups!
Increasing to size medium: 76 sts.
Medium is too big! Frogging back and continuing from 72 sts as size small.

After 18 rows in pattern, the k6 of the cable stitches suddenly moves without connecting to another cable. This does not look weird after a few rows, as the cables scrunch up the fabric and it all looks natural!

Knit cuff as follows:
k1, (p2 k2) to the end, k1;
10 rows in total.
Bind off loosely.
