Description

From the book: "Although this pattern is worked in a panel, it does not continue vertically but is completed, instead, at the end of 42 rows. It may, of course, be started again in the next panel above, or worked horizontally across the fabric by repeating the pattern every 32 stitches. Note that the Front Cross and Back Cross are made on both sides of the fabric to give a shallow slant to the traveling stitches."

Notes

Anna learned to knit continental style from her Danish grandmother, a strict teacher. When her grandmother was a child, her mother sewed to support the family, which instilled in her a strong love and respect for the value of skill that goes into handmade goods. Anna hopes to honor her by carrying that appreciation and those skills forward.
