Description

From the book: "Braid Cables (not to be confused with Plait Cables) consist of three knit ribs traveling across a purl-stitch ground, and crossing one another alternately in true braid fashion. Braid Cables are novel in appearance and interesting to work. Also, they are capable of much variation. Three types of Braid Cable are given: Close, Barred, and Twisted. Other variations, of course, are possible."
