This pattern is a translation of one found in the Danish book "Fuldstændig Strikkeskole", published by Carl Allers Forlag og Tryk, Copenhagen 1877.
K= knit
K2TOG = knit 2 together
YO = yarn over
All even rows are purled.
Cast on required number of stitches (multiple of 15 + 1).
Row 1: K
Row 3: K1, * K2TOG, K5, YO, K1, YO, K5, K2TOG. Repeat from * to end of row.
Rows 5-7-9-11-13 and 15: As row 3.
Row 16: K.
Original instructions do not mention casting off, so perhaps this was intended as the lower edge of a garment.
