mistake-stitch ribbing

This handsome ribbing may very well have been discovered by an accident. The "mistake" consists of working Knit-Two Purl-Two ribbing on one less stitch than required - though anyone who first made this mistake would have perceived it very soon, as the two ribbings appear quite different.
