Description

From the book: "This pattern is exceedingly dense in the lateral dimension, as might be expected when 4 stitches are cabled over 4 stitches all the way across the row. Basket Cable is popularly used in panel form for fancy cable sweaters, though in fact the Close-Woven Basket Lattice gives much the same effect with a much neater appearance. When Basket Cable is used as a panel, the 4 edge stitches may be omitted or converted into purl stitches."
