Default pattern seeking

How about something in Feather and Fan? Its garter stitch,
mostly, but certainly not plain. The basic pattern is

Multiple of 18

Rows 1, 2, & 4: Knit.
Row 3: (knit 2 tog) 3x, (yo, k1) 6x, (knit 2 tog) 3x

You can make each pattern repeat on any number evenly
divisible by 3 that produces a number divisible by 2, if
that makes any sense. The pattern is created in three
units: decreases, increases, decreases. You must be able
to make AS MANY decreases as you do increases, and the two
must be balanced symmetrically.


DOH! Feather & Fan, the standby for truck blankets here
how could i not think of it as a shawl/wrap?
thanks
