Hmm. It would appear that the pattern features poufs similar to nupps... but why were they offset, with those on the right starting one row later than those on the left? And it would seem that some of the stitches in the center section were backwards, with purls where there ought to be knits and vice versa.
Yeah. So I created another version, in stages. First, I reworked the center section of the pattern: aligning the nupps, using stockinette everywhere except for the purl columns in the middle, placing the double decrease on the last RS row (so the edging ends with a complete motif), and changing the poufs to my preferred style of nupp.
Then I tacked the sides back on, using k2tog instead of ssk in the right section and using a chain selvedge on the left section.
Some people, I know, might be squirming a little bit at the liberties I’ve taken with the original pattern. But I’m with whoever said, “We do not honor tradition by slavishly repeating it.” (It was Anna Zilboorg, yes? Someone correct me if I got the attribution wrong!)
