Aonori is a type of edible seaweed. This pattern mimics the water layers and the air bladders that some seaweeds have to maintain optimal place in the water column.

Notes:
Only one color is used per row.

Slipped stitches are always slipped purlwise with yarn held to the wrong side.

The cables do pull in a little but with the yarn shown it was easily corrected by blocking. One may wish to swatch if wanting a perfect triangle and go up a needle size. The sample is done with the same size.

Gauge and needles:
24 sts/42 rows = 4” (10 cm) in garter stitch on US 3 (3.25 mm)
(One may wish to use a size or two larger for the cable parts as the cables can cause it to pull in. The sample was knit with all the same size needle and blocked aggressively.)
