Description

From the book: "This is a very dense, close-woven pattern, compressed both horizontally and vertically. The gauge must be carefully checked. This herringbone is suitable for color knitting; rows 1-12 make upward diagonals to the left, rows 13-24 make upward diagonals to the right, and thus it is possible to work the former in one color and the latter in another."
