From Inspired Cable Knits: I designed two cables for this project whose repeats are not easily detected. Both have long row repeats and are not divisible by each other, so they are almost always offset, eliminating any true horizontal breaks. The cable used in the center panels is asymmetrical, leaving areas of reverse stockinette stitch. This allows each able to infringe on its neighbor, making it difficult to see the vertical breaks.
