From the book: "Quaker Ridging is only one example of an almost limitless number of possible combinations in knit-purl stripes. Any knitter, even the least experienced, can vary this pattern at will, simple by establishing purled stripes of any desired width across a stockinette fabric at any desired intervals. If the purled ridges are to be more than five rows in width it is a good idea to work them in Garter Stitch so that the fabric does not draw up to much. For instance: if the broader stripe, in the pattern as given, were to be worked in Garter Stitch, then Row 13 would be knitted instead of purled. For a simple single-row stripe, repeat Rows 1-6 only."Collection
