Like the basket sketched in Figure 51, the block pattern beneath 
the meander is quite independent of it, as is the border. 
consists of two or three dark stitches alternating with three to six 
white ones in irregular succession.

Figure 55 
also shows the extremely successful concealment of the jump, which in
