Description

From the book: "This pattern makes a full, rounded rib with plenty of spring to it. Left unpressed, the ribbing will close tightly together in a firm hold such as is desired at the lower edge or cuff of a sweater, or a turtle neck collar, or a ribbed hat. The Variation, shown on bottom half of swatch, is also a good firm ribbing but a little flatter, with the ribs somewhat broadened by placing the slip-stitches at the sides instead of in the center."
