Description

From the book: "Here is an ingenious pattern from Germany. The decreases are hidden in the purl stitches between the ribs of the 'umbrella,' so that these ribs converge smoothly. The pattern is novel enough to be a successful single-panel feature in a plain garment, when not used as an allover pattern."
