Pattern for Small Leaf

I'm still working on the second sock, just got to the heel. So instead of showing 'more of the same', I'm writing down the pattern for the small knitted leaf. Someone else might like to use it and this acts as a 'backup' in case I lose my scribbled piece of paper. It's based on a leaf by Cyntergomes.livejournal.com but is much smaller and simpler. Using 3.25 mm needles and approximately double knit yarn, it measures 5 cm from base to tip.

Abbreviations:
K: knit, P purl, S2PO, slip 2 stitches together, knit 1, pass 2 slipped stitches over, M1: make 1 stitch by picking up the loop between stitches.

Cast on 6 stitches
Row 1: K6, cast on 5 stitches.
Row 2: K5, P1, K5.
Row 3: K1, M1, K3, S2PO, K3, M1, K1
Row 4: As row 2
Row 5: As row 3.
Row 6: As row 2
Row 7: Knit
Row 8: As row 2
Row 9: K4, S2PO, K4
Row 10: K4, P1, K4
Row 11: K3, S2PO, K3
Row 12: K3, P1, K3
Row 13: K2, S2PO, K2
Row 14: K2, P1, K2
Row 15: K1, S2PO, K1
Row 16: P3 together.
Fasten off.
