Pentagons

An attempt to invent a pattern of pentagons using the different gradients made by k2tog and k3tog decreases. The purl stitches in right side rows represent horizontal chain stitch (which Stitch Maps can't chart at present).

The swatch picture shows experiments with the horizontal stitches. More work needed.

Shown with a cast-on count of 21 stitches.   Getting chart...
