Figure 79, a, gives an idea of the stepped diagonals on eight vertical 
stripes on a large basket, showing only the lower end of one. 
The 
stripes are all the same as far as number of stitches and height of the 
lines is concerned, but the details of the lines vary and the succession 
of colors is changed. 
“The interesting feature of these ornaments,” writes Doctor 
Haeberlin, ‘‘is the difficulty into which the woman comes by starting 
the stripes with 12 stitches at the base. 
This accounts for the greater
