Casual but classy. Knit and purl ribbing with offset bars angling in opposing directions from the mid-line.

My favorite thing about this stitch design is that the patterning is effective folded, pinned or draped. No need to hold it out from the neck to get the full effect.

Written in US English, includes fully written out line by line instructions, plus a chart.

Worked in the round, bottom-up and top-down appearances are the same. Inner texture is also the same, no wrong side.

Established Beginner Skills: Knit, purl, pick up and purl, work in the round.

Can also be made with the zigzag in a single direction.
