So maybe the 'not under the moss stitch' decreasing is to even out the number of stitches per length overall? Hej Jerry,

I think that is what is meant by the instruction.

Some good points. Wish I had mentioned this before I completed over 800 stitches. I'll probably just continue with the ribbing and see how it looks. I can just rip back if it doesn't look right .. Right?? Hmm.. Some good points. Wish I had mentioned this before I completed over 800 stitches.

The terminus of the cables will flare out rather than lying straight. Yes, you can always rip back, but that is no fun at all! :) Jerry, bunch or stretch some of the stitches on the needle as they would look when the weater is being worn, and if you have cable splay you will know immediately.
