About

A fast knit for yourself or as a gift. Simple yet impressive! With two sizes small and large. Our pattern is based on a 4x4 Diagonal Rib Stitch that’s taken a walk on the wild side. Inspired by a pattern found in Barbara G. Walker’s “A Treasury of Knitting Patterns”

The photos included use Tempting Ewe Yarns Ewe So Wooly Worsted.
This pattern uses multiples of 8 minus 1
stitch. You can alter the pattern to suit your needs or creative tendencies. The smaller pattern uses 16 repeats of 8-1. The long size is
simply doubled.
