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.
