Bias Lace from American Agriculture 1895
By Ella S Davis
Cast on 39 stitches and knit 1 row
Work all instances of k5tog thus: slip stitches 2 to 5 on the left hand needle over the first stitch and knit it.
Wherever the pattern says “[(k1, p1) into next stitch] twice”, these are all worked into the double yarn over that was made on the previous row.
Shown with a cast-on count of 39 stitches.
