Description

From the book: "This pattern is remarkable for beauty of texture. It is formed of a broken Knit-Two Purl-Two ribbing arranged in chevrons, and is almost as simple to work as the ribbing itself. If it is pressed only lightly, or left altogether unblocked, the knit stitches will close up and twist around each other so that they resemble little Mock Cables."
