Comments, if any: It’s helpful to read the introduction to this chapter to try out Walker’s alternate way of making the right and left twist.  I think perhaps the left twist was indeed slightly tighter and neater.  This block was a lot of fun to do and was very easy.

I’ve included a picture of the pattern unblocked below.

Notes: Not as elastic as ribbing, but a stretchy fabric. Walker recommends knitting with smallish needles and I agree that it looks best when knit at a tighter gauge than recommended for the yarn. If I did it again, I’d probably go down at least a needle size.
