Very simple lace (both techical and non-technical meanings) so must have been independently 'invented' a million times, including by me. All single increases directly next to single increases (i.e. knitting machine 'simple lace') so an easy, well behaved knitting machine stitch pattern. Blue swatch in c. 3-ply weight z. Hinchliffe British wool, hard blocked, cream swatch in World of wool BFL/silk laceweight, unblocked but pinned open. Experimented in Stitch Map with which row to start and finish on to give the most movement in the fabric to naturally block into lace points for symmetrical wrap ends. This finishing row should give reasonable blocked points (for a simple lace). Less sure that the starting row is the best choice but stitch map suggests movement similar to and symmetrical with the finishing row (lace points that should line up and approximatly the same place in the leafy shapes).
