Description

From the book: "Here is a delightful pattern of contrasting diamonds with a nubby garter-stitch texture like that of a Waffle Check or Three-and-One Tweed. The same pattern may be given a smooth texture, if desired, simply by purling the wrong-side rows. Nubby or smooth, Harlequin Pattern is an excellent design for socks, knitted vests, or ties."

Notes

Michèle has been knitting for over 50 years and finds it helpful in various ways. Andrea's Aunt Syl taught her to knit when she was quite young, but only really picked up the craft 10 years ago. Now she knits in a class twice a month, and finds knitting to be a type of meditation. She loves making afghans for her adult children and blankets for her grandchild.
