I used Cascade Revive (100% Recycled Wool) and a US#8 (5.0 mm) needle.
The stitch pattern worked up nicely on my needles! I found myself looking forward to those decreases that removed TWO stitches.
The decreases on the right and left edges did make it wave a bit. That’s perfect for a shawl or cowl, but it might be trickier on a garment (I might try some increases to battle that…this is where a swatch is crucial).
The bottom and top waves would also need to be deliberate.

About the Instructor: Jody Richards
Jody is the founder and lead editor of Knotions. She loves poring over stitch dictionaries and trying out new stitches.
She’s also on a mission to get everyone to embrace the blocking. And, to avoid using garter stitch edges in knit swatches made for gauge.
And while she likes all things crafting (well ok, except that one thing), yarn crafts are her true love (and she has the stash to prove it).
