This textured pattern is reminiscent of something erupting or bursting forth as well, with the slanting cables rising up through the design.
It reminded me of the magical beast, the Erumpent, resembling a rhinoceros with a single long horn and a roundish body, but also the Mud Horn (Din Djarin’s signet). So, I went diving for something historical and came up with Elasmotherium!

Cable needle is optional for this design. In fact, it’s a great way to practice these simple stitches without using one! Multiple yarn weights, different crown options, and an all-over texture makes this a great and fun knit!
