cable knit

A knitting style that features textured three dimensional overlapping layers that usually either look like a braided cable or rope, a lattice of repeating Xs, a chain, or other similar interlocking pattern.

Aran sweaters prominently feature this knit style, to the point that almost the entire sweater is comprised of various types of cable knitting. The virgin killer sweater also usually features cable knitting.
