Description

From the book: "This handsome ribbing may very well have been discovered by an accident. The 'mistake' consists of working Knit-Two Purl-Two ribbing on one less stitch has than required — though anyone who first made this mistake would have perceived it very soon, as the two ribbing appear quite different."
