ebb/flow horseshoe cables - X version (see also O)
This version forms an X where the increase/decrease cable rows meet - O version forms an O (for you xo cable fans). Only difference that the R/L crosses are reversed.

Easy to work/memorize. All WS rows are "work as is"; RS rows alternate between increase rows and cable rows.
Double row repeats of the max/min cable crosses are optional, but look cool; you could skip rows 17-24 to manage row gauge/height/length/fit/etc.

I've tried a variety of increases; worth an experiment. My goal was to 'bury' the increase with the cable, where possible. Currently using IIL and IIR from http://knitty.com/ISSUEw15/KSPATTgeldys/KSPATTgeldys.php (but probably I like them because they're new, and they're similar to Cat Bordhi's LLinc/LRinc, which I've liked in the past).
(I actually am now working on a multiple 14 + 12 and work wide narrow, wide (a.k.a. decreasing, increasing, decreasing) for current project.)
