I love the elegant simplicity of the above. I would begin with knitting flat and then try the circulars. I there a flat version please? "Retired", not keen on new-fangled things, sorry. Smiley.

This pattern cannot be knit flat, the way it is written. for the pattern to turn out correctly it is dependent on being knit in the round.
