Cable over 4 sts without cable needle

When you knit cables you don't necessary need to use a cable needle ... The video shows you how to cable to right and left without one.
Right: yarn in front of work, slip 2 sts, yarn to back of work, K2, from behind pick up the 2 slipped sts on left needle, drop the first 2 sts on right needle + 2 slipped sts and then put the first two sts back on right needle again, yarn to back of work and K2.
Left: slip 2 sts, K2, from front pick up the 2 slipped sts on left needle, drop the first 2 sts on right needle + 2 slipped sts and then put the first two sts back on right needle again, K2.

@knitser1 she uses 20 stitches; count them and then add the 3 stitches for the knit ending she didn't finish in the video it mirrors the other side
