Lace Stitch Knitting Pattern

How to knit the Lace Stitch: 

Work with a multiple of 12 stitches + 1 + 2 edge stitches.

Cast on 27 stitches (6 + 12 + 7 + 2 edge stitches) and work according to chart.

The chart shows only right-side rows.

On wrong-side rows, purl all stitches and any yarn overs.

The pattern repeat is 10 stitches wide.

Begin with 1 edge stitch and 6 stitches before the pattern repeat, work the pattern repeat throughout, end with 7 stitches after the pattern repeat and 1 edge stitch.
