Antique Edging

Tessa Lorant’s original instructions* call for working 1-to-6 inc as ([k1, p1] 3 times) in next st, and k6tog as BO 5 sts.

I suspect that row 8 is wrong re: the k/p in the center. And I wonder if the pattern might make more sense if the nupps – if we can call them that – were worked consistently on the same rows, instead of being slightly staggered. Compare to Antique Edging, v2.
