You simply cannot zone out while knitting this pattern. Pay attention or you will be laddering down to fix mistakes a lot.

Most cables can be done without a cable needle, if you are experienced with that. Just the five-stitch cable on charts 3 and 4 needs a needle.

Alternating cable cast on, but: after ten stitches, do four “knit” style cast ons. Place a marker every 23 stitches and stitches 11-14 after every marker should be “knit” cast ons. The rest should alternate.
