Large Loose Braid Free Knitting Stitch.
Wide braided cables with interesting texture.
Legend:
- = 1 M re
- = 1 knit stitch
- = 1 M li
- = 1 purl stitch
- = 1 tiefgestochene M (= Hinr 1 M re; in Rückr in die M 1 R tiefer einstechen und li str)
- = 1 brioche knit stitch (k1b); (on RS knit 1 st below; on WS purl 1 st below)
- Alternative interpretation for a simpler pattern: 1 stitch worked into the stitch one row below (this can be a knit stitch on RS and a purl stitch on WS, similar to an elongated stitch or a simple brioche variant).
- = 1 U, in der Rückr li verschr str
- = 1 yarn over (yo), on return row purl into back loop
- = 2 M re zusstr
- = knit 2 together (k2tog)
- = 2 M re überzogen zusstr (= 1 M re abh, 1 M re, dann die abgehobene M überziehen)
- = slip 1 knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (ssk or skp)
- = 4 M auf eine Hilfs-N vor die Arbeit legen, 4 M re str, dann die M der Hilfs-N 1 M li, 1 M Halbpatent im Wechsel str
- = Cable 4 front (C4F): slip 4 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at front of work, knit 4 from left-hand needle, then from cable needle: 1 purl, 1 half brioche stitch (alternate)
- Note: The last part “1 M Halbpatent im Wechsel str” (1 half brioche stitch alternately knitted) is a bit ambiguous for a standard cable definition and might refer to a specific combination of stitches within the cable twist. A direct interpretation is provided.
- = 4 M auf eine Hilfs-N hinter die Arbeit legen, * 1 M Halbpatent, 1 M li, ab * 2 x arb, dann die M der Hilfs-N re str
- = Cable 4 back (C4B): slip 4 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at back of work, *work 1 half brioche stitch, 1 purl stitch, repeat from * 2 times, then knit stitches from cable needle.
- Note: Similar to the above, the sequence of “1 M Halbpatent, 1 M li” within the cable twist is specific to this pattern.
