How to knit the Lace and Cable Panel

The Lace and Cable Panel is a gorgeous stitch. It's worked with a background of reverse stockinette with lace framed by cables. The cables are a little different in the sense that the RS is knit in the back loop and the WS is purled in the back loop. This stitch pattern works in multiples of 21 over an 8 row repeat.

Below there is a video tutorial and a chart for you, as well.
