Lace Stitch Knitting Pattern

Lace Stitch Knitting Pattern

How to knit Lace Stitch: 

Work with a multiple of 18 sts + 1 + 2 edge stitches.

Cast on 39 sts (1 + 18 + 18 + 2 edge sts) and work according to chart.

The chart shows only Right Side Rows.

On Wrong Side Rows, purl all sts and yo’s.

The patt rep = 18 sts wide.

Begin with 1 edge st and 1 st before patt rep, work patt rep throughout, end with 18 sts after patt rep and 1 edge st.

yo: yarn over

yo from back: yarn over from back to front

k2tog: knit 2 stitches together

skpo: slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch

cdd (Central Double Decrease): slip first and second stitches together as if to knit, knit 1 stitch, pass two slipped stitches over the knit stitch
