Serendipity

I encoded the letters of the word Serendipity as numbers, then used those numbers to generate a chart with yarn overs. Then I figured out where to place the corresponding decreases to make this lace pattern. Here is my blog post that goes with the stitch pattern.

Shown with a cast-on count of 36 stitches.   Getting chart...
