Knitted Lace in Leaf Design
Reprint of a 1930 pattern republished in Popular Needlework, May 1966. Modernized the knitting terminology. Very hard to keep track of, so the Stitch Map will be very helpful!!! Row 12 and 24 presented a challenge, since I couldn't figure how to capture the directions exactly. Here are the original directions for the beginning of those two rows. Instead of BO 7, the directions are "Bind off 3 sts, k4, slip 4 sts over last st on right-hand needle", then proceed with the rest of the row as written.
Shown with a cast-on count of 44 stitches.
