Materials:
Sea Silk – Handmaiden Fine Yarn – in Sangria. 2 skeins.
24″ 3.25mm circular needles
Gauge:
6 stitches per inch, but gauge not important for this project.
Finished Measurements:
14″ x 85″ blocked
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is a 16 stitch repeat (indicated by shaded portion on chart) with a garter stitch boarder.
You may wish to use Life Lines after every pattern repeat…just in case.
Chart Legend:
Directions:
Cast on 87 stitches.
Work 3 ridges (six rows) of garter stitch.
Begin charted portion, reading odd numbered rows from right to left and even numbered rows from left to right.
Repeat chart (ending on either Row 8 or 16 if possible) until there is just enough yarn to knit 3 ridges (six rows) of garter stitch.
Cast off VERY LOOSELY. I often use a needle at least 1mm larger than that used in the body.
Sew in ends.
Block.
LOVE.
Thank you so much for sharing! It's beautiful!!!
Thanks!
I have never knit lace before – is this difficult for a beginner?
It’s a bit more complicated than your basic “Yarn over, knit two together” lace pattern, but not by much.
After a few repeats you should have this pattern licked.

Hi! I wanted to thank you for posting this pattern. I just finished my project and hope to block it (and photograph it) as soon as the weather allows.
I can’t wait to see it. Are you on Ravelry?
Oh, and you’re very welcome.
Happy knitting!

Greetings: I’ve just finished the first 16 rows, and I must say, as a novice lace knitter, this is a great intro to the craft. I’ve got 2skeins of Handmaiden in a gorgeous mix of purples, browns, lime greens and blues. It’s turning out wonderful. I’m on ravelry as Stitchwitch59 and I’ll be posting a picture in a day or two.
thank you for posting this pattern.
I’m glad you like the pattern, Janice.
The yarn sounds delicious. Sea Silk (and Tanis’s copycat Mulburry Silk) are my favourites with which to work. YUM.
I can’t wait to see pictures!

Angela: the pictures are up!

Any way I’ve been trying to knit up something lacy for about six months and been very frustrated. I actually learned to crochet and tat in the meanwhile, because I thought maybe that would satisfy my lace drive, but I just had to be able to knit lace.
Everything I tried out of Barbra Walker’s Treasuries blew my mind. I even tried not doing any repeats after a while. I’ll just make book marks I thought. I can’t possibly screw that up. But those were failures too.
But your pattern (and time) has some how helped me defeat my lace block. I started with 119 stitches (because I thought it was going to be too small) stitches and I’ve complete 23 rows, so that makes 2,737 correct stitches. It’s a record.
Although I’m thinking of ripping it out and starting it over, so it won’t be a mere 13 inches wide.
Thanks!
Ha-ha. I edited out the sentence that led up to me saying “Anyway..”
Hello. I tried to download the pattern but could only get page one (up to pattern notes) And not the instructions and chart – am I doing something wrong? Can’t find a link to download a pdf file or similar. Beautiful pattern.
Greetings!!!
