I love this pattern. Change the gauge, the size or color yarn and each project looks subtly different. And it SO easy.
I used this pattern on the bottom of a cowl & it turned out very pretty. I had to increase to get the proper stitch number but no big deal. It made the cowl bottom "flare" & lay very nicely. I only knit a row at the end then bound off the next so it had a simpler look. I am making another using the same basic style which goes very nicely under a jacket.
