Description

From the book: "This is a basic pattern; the knit zigzag ribs on a background of purl occur in dozens of different shapes and sizes. Sometimes the ribs are made of a single stitch instead of two stitches. Sometimes there are only two zigzagging ribs instead of four; some- times there are six (three on each side) or eight (four on each side) or more. Sometimes there is a central rib worked vertically straight. Sometimes there are more pattern"
