cable-stitch
Twisted knitting technique
A cable-stitch is a knitting pattern that creates a raised, twisted design resembling braided rope or cable.
The technique involves crossing groups of stitches over each other, producing a textured, three-dimensional effect common in traditional sweaters: a fisherman's sweater with cable-stitch panels.
Also used as a verb: She cable-stitched the front of the cardigan.
