I think it probably means to work 4 stitches as a cable, but to put them either in the front (F) or back (B) of your work. Hope that made sense, but really check the website!

I'm from Sweden, and would really love to make this adorable owl for my daughter! But I can't find out what your abbreviations means...I'd be so happy if you could write it out for me. I'm used to knit 'in English', but I never came across this: C4B, C4F ??? Greetings from Sweden :) Hi! I’m from Sweden, and would really love to make this adorable owl for my daughter!

I think I have done something wrong. The last row, the row I BO, is that the ears? If so should I have BO 4 then the other 4? Mine hasn't come into points. However I may have also done my st st wrong between the cabling rows, should I have started wiith a knit row or a purl row?!?!?! This pattern is so cute! I want to put them onto clips for part of my girlfriend's Christmas box. This is my first time trying cables, and I an a new knitter too. I think I have done something wrong.

Owls are wonderful (almost as much as cats :)! I don't have much use for cables, but this would be a great thing to make and put on a hair clip or a brooch. This is adorable!

It means to put 2 stitches on cable needle, hold in back, knit 2 stitches from regular needle, then knit the 2 stitches from cable needle (now you have 4 knitted stitches). Next, for the last 4 stitches this time hold the first 2 stitches on a cable needle in front, knit the 2 stitches left on the regular needle and then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle. Voila! Did I write 'stitches' enough in this post?? I hope I didn't make it more confusing for anyone... For those of you still curious I recently and happily found out what CB4, CF4 means!

Knit the ones on the front needle first. I made one of these last night and it just didn't work for me. Not sure what I did wrong - I assume you stay in st st, so 2 of the cable rows were purls. Did I do it wrong? I ended up with a yellow twist - no discernible owl to be found. Maybe I cabled too tightly - ?? Any help appreciated - I love these things!
