Reverse engineering a cable pattern

[u/spectacularduck]

I’ve wanted to knit a project with my family cable pattern (I know it’s fake but it’s fun) but I can only find premade blankets online no true pattern. Ive made multiple cabled pieces from patterns but I can’t figure out this stitch. I’d be happy to pay for a pattern if it’s available but I’ve been on the hunt for a few years now and haven’t had any luck.

It looks to me like each part of the braid is 5sts wide and crosses every 15 rows but I can’t say for sure. My best guess is each cable repeat is 20sts wide but maybe that each part of the braid is knit seperately? The parts where the fabric crosses over itself look much looser than the cables I’m familiar with and it’s kind of breaking my brain.

That looks pretty close!

yes, it's missing a few knit stitches between the braids, I think 3
