Frosted Ferns Lace Doily Part 1 (Rows 1-74)

Pattern notes:

• Co 6 stitches. Repeat chart below in each.

• Knit all even rounds. In even rounds, above (YO) x2 stitches, each of these two YO's are used to make one st each, always p the 1st YO and k the 2nd YO. Examples of this are shown in rounds 38-44. Since this will be obvious while working it up, the rest of the even rounds are not counted out and entered here.

Instead of (1/1 RC), create a cross st (cross st isn't an optional symbol here). To make a cross st, skip the first st on left-hand needle, k in the back of the 2nd st, k the first st, then allow both sts to slip off left-hand needle at the same time.

• After rounds 74, break the thread, transfer 30 stitches off the beginning of the first needle to the third needle, reattach thread and begin with next pattern chart. Move all stitch markers/stitches along needles 30 stitches.
