Between starting & ending stitches, this is a one-row pattern: k5, k3tog, k5, KyoK When I tried Rick Mondragon's one-row Sharp Ripple (2019 Advent One-Row Wonders), at first I made a mistake and alternated the placement of the increases / decreases, instead of stacking them correctly. But I liked the look, so I created this version to capture that effect. One thing nice about this version is that you can place stitch markers between columns (turn on Sections to see where), rather than having chevrons gobble up the stitches. (note: Row 1 and Row 2 are identical, but the stitch-map did not render properly if I only provided one row.)

I need a better name for this.

Shown with a cast-on count of 44 stitches.   Getting chart...

  • Row 1 (RS): K1, (k1, yo, k1) in next st, *k5, k3tog, k5, (k1, yo, k1) in next st, repeat from * to last 14 sts, k5, k3tog, k5, k1.
  • Row 2: K1, (k1, yo, k1) in next st, *k5, k3tog, k5, (k1, yo, k1) in next st, repeat from * to last 14 sts, k5, k3tog, k5, k1.
