Sentence: Modellen er strikket diagonalt i strukturstriber -- skiftevis 2 pinde ret fra retsiden, før der vendes og strikkes 2 pinde ret fra vrangen

Knitting is done in rows (pind /pinde) in Danish
There are two basic kinds of stitches, plain and purl:
ret og vrang in Danish.
'Normal' stocking stitch (glatstrikning) consists of alternate rows of plain and purl.
If you knit two consecutive rows of plain (or two of purl), you get a 'ridge' on the right side, which is often deliberate to stop the knitting curling, to make a pattern or for any number of reasons.
'Garter stitch' means knitting all the rows plain.
US terminology is slightly different: a 'plain' stitch is a 'knit stitch', for instance, but if you need more, just google 'how to knit' and select sites from whichever side of the pond you need.
Have fun!

It sounds as if you are dealing with machine knitting, not hand knitting, or possibly working with a circular needle.
The model was knitted diagonally in a structural (= all one colour)striped pattern with two plain rows on the right side before the work was turned and two plain rows knitted on the reverse side.
***
The same effect would be obtained with ordinary straight needles (US pins) by knitting two rows plain, then two rows purl alternately.
With a round needle it would be necessary to turn the work, but it is hard to explain why without a picture or demonstration!

You can certainly get this effect on an industrial knitting machine.
