Little Leaves Lace Wrap
Taking advantage of a simple lace stitch is a great way to create an elegant effect that isn’t as difficult at it looks. This 3×3 leaf stitch is easy to work and easy to memorize, and creates a nice, airy lace, made all the more impressive when a lovely yarn is used. Worked in a […]
