| Material: |
Yarn: I used a cashmere/superfine
lambswool yarn I'd six-plied from cones to make a yarn on the heavy side
of aran weight. Swatch with your own yarn to Needles: size 10 for body, size 8 for beginning and ending ribbing. |
| Gauge: | My gauge: two motifs=5.5" across, unstretched. 10 st per motif plus 1. |

Note: this pattern is knit as for fern
lace, but with make ones instead of yarnovers. That's the only difference.
Creates a solid fabric with
Cast on 159 on size 8s. Do p1,
k1 ribbing across wrong side row to start. Main part: starting with a right
side row, we'll call it row 2: k1, p1, k1, p1, as the ribbing is already
established at the sides, then k3, *k2tog, M1, Wrong side rows: p1, k1, p1, k1, p across until the last four stitches, k1, p1, k1, p1. Row 4: k1, p1, k1, p1, k2, *k2tog, (k1, M1) twice, k1, ssk, k3; rep from *, ending k2, p1, k1, p1, k1. Row 6: k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, *k2tog, k2, M1, k1, M1, k2, ssk, k1; repeat across, ending p1, k1, p1, k1. Row 8: k1, p1, k1, p1, k2tog, *k3, M1, k1, M1, k3, sl1--k2tog--passo; rep from *, ending ssk on last repeat, then p1, k1, p1, k1. Row 10: k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, *M1, ssk, k5, k2tog, M1, k1; rep across, p1, k1, p1, k1. Row 12: k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, *M1, k1, ssk, k3, k2tog, k1, M1, k1, rep across, p1, k1, p1, k1.

At the end, I will switch back
