Description

From the book: "A variation on Basketweave, which (along with the Basket Welt Pattern) illustrates very plainly how knit and purl stitches are played each against a background of the other. Though Basket Rib consists mostly of purl, or horizontal, stitches, its effect is vertical, like a ribbing."
