I am stumped on one pattern and can't seem to find it's abbreviations and instructions. It is asking for cross cable right (CCR), and yet the pattern doesn't ask for a cable needle.

The 6 in T6B indicates there are 6 stitches involved in the cable. If you were to take the P2 from the left needle, instead of the cable needle, there would be 8 stitches involved. If you are still unsure, or if you are nervous about having to rip it out, grab some scrap yarn, and cast on 10 stitches and try your cable out. You might need to start something like this: P2, K2, P2, K2, P2 K2, P2, K2, P2, K2 P2, T6B, P2 K2, P2, K2, P2, K2 P2, K2, P2, K2, P2 K2, P2, K2, P2, K2 P2, T6B, P2 etc... I'm not sure how often the cable repeats, but I would guess by the width of the cable that it is not less than 4 rows. If it is more rows, than add a few more between the T6B. I hope this helps!
