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.
