For Crystal Palace Yarns
This lovely pattern by Janice Kang is a PDF file.
It will print as a
6 page pattern with excellent detail in the pattern and charts.
Designer Notes:
The slipped stitch cable pattern in the cuff resembles the gamma Se crystal
structure,
http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/struk.jmol/a8.html
A 3x1 rib pattern at the top flows smoothly into the lattice pattern and then
into the slip stitch heel flap. The crystalline lattice stitch pattern is not as
stretchy as a typical rib, so the cuff may have more stitches than you are used
to.
