Square 12 -- Fisherman's Ring Square

I saw this pattern years ago and LOVED it.
 
So for Square 12 I made the Fisherman's Ring.
 
This square looks hard but is really easy to make.
 
 
Here is the photo of the one on the site where I found the pattern
 
 
 
 
and here is my square
 
 

 
Here is the pattern which I followed for the whole square and then added on my own edging to make it fit the square size I need for my afghan.
Except,
I used Red heart yarn and an H hook.
 
Oh.....and I used a HDC on the cables instead of SC.

My instructions probably aren't very clear and I apologize for that in advance.

I'm writing them out in my own way mainly for me to go back and make more squares for another afghan, but I will be more than happy to try to help you understand my way of writing if you are interested in making some of these squares. 

 Just leave a comment or email me.
