Shield Pattern, surrounded with Open Work
From the Project Gutenberg version of Exercises in Knitting by Cornelia Mee.
"Cast on 113 stitches." (15 sts per repeat times 7 repeats = 105 sts, so 8 sts left over for the edges.)
Notes:
- k2tog-tbl is used consistently for the middle of the centered shield, but less consistently for the shields formed where the repeats meet.
Shown with a cast-on count of 30 stitches.
