Wattle Stitch- paired SC & HDC stitches

According to internet wattle can be defined as
  • A number of rods or stakes interwoven with twigs or tree branches for making fences, walls, etc.
  • A common name for trees and shrubs in the genus Acacia that were used by early colonists for wattles.
  • A fleshy lobe or appendage hanging down from the throat or chin of an animal
I'm assuming the stitch is supposed to resemble a fence or wall made of wattles or the acacia plant itself.
