This no-image, no-name pattern from 1875 looks a lot like a spinning stars quilt block. It has a 10-stitch, 16-row repeat. It’s still easy, though, as the knitting is easy to “read” and every wrong-side row is simply: k5, p5.
The swatch is 3 repeats across and 3 and a half repeats tall. It takes about 1 hour to knit 4 inches of a 34-stitch-wide swatch.

Skills needed: cast on, knit, purl, slip, k2tog, SSK, yarn over and bind off in knit stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check gauge and appearance.

60 yards of Aunt Lydia’s Classic #10 crochet thread will make about 10 inches of a 34-stitch-wide strip in the stated gauge.
