Description

From the book: "Like most openwork ribbings, this quite fancy pattern tends to be loose. Thus when used as a ribbing it should be worked on small needles. In a larger gauge it makes a pleasing all over pattern for the body of a garment. Both sides are attractive, though different; therefore the pattern could also be used for such articles as scarves and baby blankets."
