From the book: "Compared to most cable patterns, the Flying Buttress is almost stark in its simplicity. It consists of a single rib of two knit stitches, traveling diagonally on a purled ground, either (1) to the right, or (2) to the left. The Right version is done with a series of back crosses, the Left with front crosses. When worked on either side of a common center, as shown, these two versions should be used, one on each side. For a Double Flying Buttress, cast on a panel of 20 stitches and work one version on the first 10, the other on the second 10-reversing the order, of course, on the opposite side of the fabric."Collection
