Description

From the book: "Here is a delightful pattern from France, notable for its ease of working and its striking interplay of color and texture. The little twisted columns are like pilasters on a wall, standing in high relief with apparently little connection to the background. Having a garter-stitch basis, the fabric is dense and flat, and will not require much blocking."
