The chunky braid cable stitch is a large cable panel worked on reverse stockinette. While it looks complicated the pattern is relatively simple and easy to memorize. It makes for a great detail
in aran sweaters or in a cabled scarf. It can be combined with other traditional cable motifs for use in a blanket as well. This is a foundational cable pattern that is incredibly versatile.
there is a video of how to do this just search New Stitch a Day.
thanks KnittingAngel. Ive been looking for a pattern to convert a pair of crochet gloves to knitting but couldnt find a pattern that would substitute for the crochet rib pattern - I might give it a go in this (as my next project) and see how it turns out.
My other choice was Brioche stitch!:lol
