New to cables

[NancyMcQuade]

Hello all of you experienced crocheters,
I am tackling my first cable project and need HELP!
The pattern calls for a forward cable stitch and a backward cable stitch. The front one works fine but the back one not so much...or at least I don’t understand it.
I am attaching the instructions for the two stitches and the pattern where it is first used.
As always, thank you for your help.
Nancy
