\"littleTaking 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 rectangle so it requires no shaping, it’s modern, yet feminine.<\/p>\n

Finished Measurements:<\/strong> 63 inches by 12.25 inches<\/p>\n

Gauge:<\/strong> 15 st per 4 inches (gauge is not crucial for this project)<\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/strong> sock weight – sample knit with one skein of Araucania Ranco Multy, 376 yds.<\/p>\n

Needle Size:<\/strong> US 5 \/ 3.75mm<\/p>\n

Notes<\/h3>\n

The sample was knit with a larger size needle than typically used for sock weight yarn. This results in the pattern being a little looser and more open, if you would prefer the pattern stitch to be firm, use a smaller needle and plan for more yardage and an extra pattern repeat to get the same dimensions.<\/p>\n

Abbreviations<\/h3>\n

K = stitch<\/p>\n

st = stitch<\/p>\n

YO = yarn over (increase)<\/p>\n

K3tog tbl = knit three stitches together through the back loops (double decrease)<\/p>\n

Alternate double decrease = slip one stitch as if to knit, knit two together, pass slipped stitch over<\/p>\n

Row 2: K2, purl to last 2 st, K2<\/p>\n

Row 3: K2, *YO, K3tog tbl, YO, K3, repeat from * to last 5 st, YO, K3tog tbl, YO, K2<\/p>\n

Row 4: K2, purl to last 2 st, K2<\/p>\n

Repeat these four rows until only a few yards remain.<\/p>\n

Knit two rows. Bind off.<\/p>\n

\"littleModifying the Pattern<\/h3>\n

The pattern stitch is a multiple of six stitches. This pattern has seven full repeats plus one half-repeat (so the wrap is symmetrical), and also has two edge stitches on each side (four total edge stitches). To make it wider or narrower, figure a multiple of six, plus three, plus the number of edge stitches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
