Description

From the book: "In this beautiful type of faggoting the bias problem is solved in a unique way - not by pairing decreases in the same row, as most lace patterns do, but by reversing the decreases in every other row. Thus in Row 1 the decrease is located to the left of the yo, in Row 3 to its right. As a result the ribs are drawn first to one side and then to the other in a wavy line."
