Row 2: 2ch, 5 FPtr/dc , 1 BPtr/dc, shell in shell, 1 BPtr/dc, 5 FPtr/dc , 18 BPtr/dc, 5 FPtr/dc , 18 BPtr/dc, 5 FPtr/dc , 1 BPtr/dc, shell in shell, 1 BPtr/dc, 5 FPtr/dc, 1 h.tr / h.dc in third ch, turn.

Row 3: 2ch, 5 BPtr/dc , 1 FPtr/dc, shell in shell, 1 FPtr/dc, 5 BPtr/dc.

Crochet 6 FPtr/dc, 2ch, make 1 FPtr/dc over last stitch, then turn and work 5 BPtr/dc.

Turn, make 2 ch and 6 FPtr/dc, 2 ch, work 1sl.st in space of 2 ch and 1 sl.st in last FPtr/dc below.

Now you have two cable parts.
