'Rain Drops in Breeze' Stitch Pattern

First the pattern notes:

Every odd row is knit (if circular) or purled on WS of flat knitting.

RT: knit 2 tog, do not slip off stitches, knit second stitch on left needle, and slip off both.

All other stitches (blank cells) in chart are knit stitches.

For circular knitting, omit the left-most column and knit over multiple of 6 stitches.

Innocuous enough? This stitch pattern is special because it emerged after a marathon of swatching. My requirement was to achieve a soft texture that is easy on the eye but - here's the catch - without adding bulk. My yarn? chunky weight.

For folks who want to add some shadows to large areas of plain stockinette, I'd recommend trying this out. When knit over an area, the fabric reminds you of raindrops in breeze.
