Honeycomb Cable Error- fix without unknitting??

Hi everyone, here is my first question: I am doing a honeycomb cable pattern on a child’s raglan and I just realized there is a spot where I did the wrong cable, (it is an alternation of left and right leaning cables).
The mistake is a few rows down and I just had to unknit to fix my stitch count and I’m absolutely NOT undoing all that again!
Any suggestions??

Thank you.

Welcome to KH!
It’s good that you’ve noticed this after only a few rows. It’s much easier to ladder down and correct.
This video shows a way to do that on just the one set of cable sts without having to take out all the other cables.

I’ve had to do this and it’s worth the time to get the cable correctly crossed.

Thank you, yes I realized I just needed to go down and switch the cable, it was a little fiddly, but I did it. I’m very glad to have added that trick to my knitting arsenal! Now I don’t have to stress so much if I miss something, thank you!
