Notes

Reversible.
CO edge is the width.
Knit using the herringbone twill knit stitch.
This is a tight stitch. You might want to go up a needle size or two to get a relaxed stitch. The yarn I used calls for a US 15-17 needle and I used a US 19 and I knit a little on the loose side.

Modification Options

CO in increments of 4+2 to make it wider or narrower.
You can use any weight of yarn for this pattern. It’s easy to adjust.
