Diagonal waveEntry/Object ID
2020.1.459Description
From the book: "This pattern has one feature that is unique among cable
patterns--it looks the same on both sides. As given, the waves run upward to the right. It is a simple matter to reverse the diagonals, making the waves run to the left, by slipping 3 knit sts to the cable needle, holding them in front, and purling 3 sts behind."Collection
