The Travelling Sands Stitch
Description
The Travelling Sands stitch uses Cable Stitches to generate this wonderful raised texture.
The texture of the stitch is unique, and gives a rippled look similar to sand on a beach after the tide has gone out (or as my nephew put it, it looks like his motocross bike wheel).
Working on a stockinette stitch background, it is quite straight-forward with a cable six forward and a cable six backwards added to every strip of four rows of stockinette.
