A narrow (5 stitch wide) pattern that has traveling stitches (twisted stitches, a.k.a. knit through the back) on a ground of purl stitches. The twisted stitches 'travel' diagonally up to the right, then switch directions and travel up to the left. The twisted stitches make a simple zig-zag path across the width of the pattern.
Shown with a cast-on count of 5 stitches.
