Description

From the book: "Examine Vine Lace, and you will see that its basic construction principle is a "yo, k1, yo" moved one stitch over on every other row so that the central "k1" falls above a previous "'yo". This pattern is based on the same principle, except that instead of moving back and forth, the "yo, k1, yo" structure keeps going in the same direction for ten rows before reversing. The same arrangement can be found in the beautiful Traveling Vine. If only the first ten rows of Vine Lace Zigzag are used, the result is a rather pretty pattern of crescent shapes."
