Hi!
I was wondering if someone could please explain how I would start a row with C3fp?
I have 18 stitches and the row instructions are c3fp, c3fb, p6
Many thanks in advance 
What is your pattern? Can you share a link please. Following the pattern instructions for c3fp you work that then the c3fb again according to the instructions in the pattern. My expectation is that you start by moving 3 stitches to a cable needle and holding them in front of the work.
Is it a cable pattern?
