Description

From the book: "This is a simple and easy pattern with a remarkably striking effect. For possible variations, try reversing the kits and purls (i.e. purl in Rows 2 and 6, knit in Rows 4 and 8) or working the entire pattern in garter stitch fashion (i.e. knit wrong-side rows) as in Three-and-One tweed."
