Lace Patterns
French
Lace: Pyrenees pattern - source: The Illustrated Dictionary
of Knitting
First
published in Britain around 1840, the pattern of this lace is dainty and
suitable for the finest yarns. I
wanted to work this pattern through twice so I could see the full effect
- so I had to use tiny needles and
yarn to stay under 7".
Terms:
sk2tog po, means: slip 1, k 2 tog, pass slipped stitch over
FOR
SWATCH:
Using
sport weight yarn and size #1 needles cast on 47 sts.
Work
1" seed st. Work seed
st on 5 sts, Pattern of 37 sts, and seed st on 5 st until you have
worked pattern through twice. Work
1" seed st. Bind off
in patt.

Note:
originally the ssk would have been worked with an
skpo but this gives a cleaner line to the diamonds.
Fern
Pattern: from mon tricot Knitting Dictionary Stitch Patterns
and given in British terms - I changed it a little making "wrn to
M1" into "YO". Also,
I wasn't really happy with the way the left edge and right edge weren't
matching up as mirror images, for the second half of the swatch I
experimented with ending the rows with sl 1, ssk, psso - but it wasn't
all that much better.
This
pattern would be totally cool as a raglan increase - stagger the ferns,
one each side, and don't compensate with the decreases. I think I'll try this in a baby layette set.

MRS. MONTAGUE'S PATTERN:
