There is no wrong side to this unique accessory.

Completely reversible, this innovative look has

been achieved by using a diagonal knitting

technique which results in an oblique ribbed

motif. The texture of the ribbing is balanced

out by the flowing curves of ruffled edges. Both

ribs & ruffles are worked simultaneously during

each 8-row repeat.

Can you tell which side is which?
