Description

From the book: "If the odd-numbered rows are used on the right side, then the chevrons are in Seed Stitch outlined in purl, as shown. If the even-numbered rows are used on the right side, then the chevron is double: one of Seed Stitch, and one of purl, alternated upon a knit-stitch ground. Both sides are very pretty, and it is up to the knitter which one is to be preferred."
