Melancholy
This is an edging created by encoding a word as numbers and charting it. More details here
(it's not a knitted-on edging; it's meant to be worked as the first thing after casting on or the last thing after binding off. It might work as an allover pattern, but I haven't swatched it.)
Shown with a cast-on count of 55 stitches.
