Grand Trefoil, v2
From A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara Walker.
This rendition of Grand Trefoil closely mirrors Walker’s original instructions, in that it represents (yo) twice with two yo symbols and it explicitly shows the drop stitches. See also Grand Trefoil, which represents (yo) twice with a special symbol that implies “wrap twice when creating this yo, but on the following row drop one loop to create a single exaggerated yo.”
