From the book: "Most "traveling" cables move across the background one stitch at a time on every other row, the cabling action taking place on right-side rows only. This one is different. It travels "fast" because the rib is moved on every row, both right and wrong sides. Hence, the knit stitches of which the rib is composed are somewhat stretched and sleeked. This smooth, slick appearance of the ribs as they undulate across the panel does rather remind one of a snake waving its way along. When two panels of this pattern are used on either side of a common center, as shown, one of the panels should start with Row 1 and the other with Row 13. If desired, panels can be made narrower by working over a smaller number of stitches."Collection
