Drooping Elm-Leaf Pattern

Pattern page 185-186. Chart fig. 192A, drawing of stitch fig. 192B.

“A favourite method of deriving unexpected patterns is to cut an existing chart and drop one half of it downwards, making the join where it best forms a new pattern. … Slight adjustments have been made, the decreases either side of the central vein of the leaf have been reversed to give a rougher texture to the fabric which is more in keeping with the leave of the Elm.”
