🧶 General Remarks:

• Read from bottom to top, from row 1 to row 40.

• Even rows — most likely purls (knit as per pattern).

• The pattern is symmetrical, with a central part and symmetrical decreases on both sides.

• The basis of the pattern consists of yarn overs and decreases — this is likely a lace (lace wedge) or "leaf"-shaped pattern.
