kelp

Can't remember where this kelp-like lace came from, not my invention. The swatch was knit on a knitting machine with a lace carriage, where the equivalent of sl2-k1-p2sso is used as the double decrease; hand knit versions could produce different effects with different double decreases.

Shown with a cast-on count of 16 stitches.   Getting chart...
