There are two versions of this pattern, scroll to the bottom for version II
A pattern found in my old knitting notebook from 1974 from Mrs Reiko Hori a designer who had taught at Parsons School of Design, NYC, was residing in Honolulu. She became a close friend, mentor and teacher. I worked under her at Malia, Intl. as a textile designer prior to attending Parsons School of Design, NYC. Last time I saw Reiko was at Parsons, teaching pattern making, in 2001.
