Description

From the book: "This pattern of two knit-stitch diamonds, one within the other, on a purl-stitch ground, could equally well be done by crossing the sts over each other with the cable needle: a back cross for Right Twist and a front cross for Left Twist. The advantage of using the cable needle is that it does not warp the stitches quite so much, and gives a neater and flatter appearance. The advantage of using the twist method is that it is faster and more convenient to work."
