From the Project Gutenberg version of Exercises in Knitting by Cornelia Mee.

Here is a separate map for the centre rows: "The patterns both for the border and the centre may be applied for a variety of purposes, and where beauty and elegance of pattern are appreciated, they cannot fail to be admired."

Oddity: Rows 3 and 5 of the main pattern call for k2tog-tbl ("knit 2 together, taking the back of the stitches"). None of the other decreases in similar areas call for left-leaning decreases.

Shown with a cast-on count of 34 stitches.   Getting chart...
