Description

From the book: "Double Eyelet Rib and Single Eyelet Rib look very nice in combination. Either or both will make a pretty border for any garment worked in fine yarn, particularly if the body of the garment is done in some openwork pattern. The Double Eyelet is a broad rib, and so has not very much elasticity; but its springiness can be increased by inserting Single Eyelet or some other being pattern between Double Eyelet ribs."
