From the book: "The "twins" are really two patterns, similar but not identical. Either one may be worked alone if desired, and for this reason they are given separately. Rows 1, 2, 3, 15, 16, 17, and 18 are exactly alike in both patterns; the other rows differ. To work the two patterns in vertical stripes, cast on a multiple of 14 stitches plus 1 and work Row 1 of Pattern A on the first 15 stitches, then work from * of Row 1, Pattern B, on the next 14 stitches, then work from * of Pattern A's first row again, and so on. For each row follow this plan, beginning each succeeding row with the next row of whichever pattern was used last. To alternate the patterns in check fashion as shown, simply exchange their positions after every 18th row. These patterns are tricky, and some of the "p2 tog-b" directions are awkward to work because one or the other of the two stitches that are to be purled together is a yo. For the method of accomplishing this more easily, see Lace Medallion."Collection
