Oblique Lace

From Betsy Beads by Betsy Hershberg. Betsy’s original pattern features beads; this version is, as yet, sans beads. Contrast with Left Slant Mesh: both slant left, but Left Slant Mesh uses ssk for smooth decrease lines while Oblique Lace uses k2tog for a more knotted appearance.

Shown with a cast-on count of 9 stitches.   Getting chart...
