Wager Welt
From Barbara G. Walker, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, p. 16. "This type of ridging owes its fame to an amusing little sidelight in the history of knitting. The 'wager' was concerned with the question, out of eight pattern rows, how many rows are purled?..."
Worked on any number of stitches.
Shown with a cast-on count of 2 stitches.
- Rows 1, 3, 5, and 7 (RS): Knit.
- Row 2: Purl.
- Rows 4, 6, and 8: Knit.
