From the description: This design overcomes two disadvantages of the striped pattern: one is that horizontal stripes are not flattering and two is weaving in the ends. By changing the direction of the stitches through increases and decreases a diagonal fabric results. Two multicoloured yarns create myriad colours and there is no sewing in of ends.
