Miniature Leaf Lace I

Sample knit with Araucania Ruca on US Size 6 needles

This is a pretty lace stitch that isn't too complicated.  

Note: 

• Sl 2 Knitwise - K1 - P2sso = Slip the next two stitches together as if to knit, knit the next stitch, pass both of the slipped stitches at the same time over the knit stitch (this gives you a nice, centered double decrease)
• SSK = Slip the next stitch knitwise, Slip the next stitch either knitwise OR purlwise, knit them together through the back loop.   (Slipping the second stitch purlwise is my preferred method, you should do whichever you feel most comfortable with)

Cast on a multiple of 6 + 1

Row 1 and all Wrong Side Rows: Purl all stitches

Row 2: K1 *K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SSK, K1*

Row 4: K2tog *YO, K3, YO, Sl 2 Knitwise - K1 - P2sso *, end last repeat with SSK

Row 6: K1 *YO, SSK, K1, K2tog, YO, K1*

Row 8: K2 *YO, Sl 2 Knitwise - K1 - P2sso, YO, K3*, end last repeat with K2

Folk Lace

Sample knit with Red Heart worsted weight yarn on US size 9 needles

Depending on what you are knitting, I would recommend adding some extra stitches to neaten up the edges of the fabric, and maybe even knit a few rows before beginning the pattern, to prevent curling.

Cast on a multiple of 8 stitches, plus 5

Row 1: Knit (worked only to begin pattern, and not included in the repeat)

Row 2 and all even numbered Rows: Purl

Row 3: K2, K2tog, YO *K1, YO, (SKP, YO) 2 times, Slip 1, K2tog, PSSO, YO* End with K1, (YO, SKP) 3 times, K2

Row 5: K4 *(YO, SKP) 3 times, K2* End last repeat with K3

Row 7: K5 *(YO, SKP) 2 times, K4*

Row 9: *K6, YO, SKP* End last repeat with K5

Row 11: K4 *K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SKP, K3* End last repeat with K4

Row 13: K3 *K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SKP, YO, SKP, K1* End last repeat with K3

Dont forget Row 14 - Purl!

Repeat from Row 3 for pattern

Little Arrowhead Lace

Sample knit with Patons Angora Bamboo on US  8 needles

The edges of this stitch are really sloppy.  You will probably want to add some extra stitches to neaten up the edges of your fabric.  I would also recommend blocking your finished item to open up the stitch pattern.

Pattern Note:

On Row 4, Slip the next two stitches together as if to knit, then you will Knit 1, and then pass the two slipped stitches together over the knit stitch 

Cast on a multiple of 6 + 1

Rows 1 and 3: Purl all stitches

Row 2: K1 *YO, SSK, K1, K2tog, YO, K1*

Row 4: K2 *YO, Sl2 Kwise, K1, P2SSO, YO, K3* End last repeat with K2

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

Acorn Cable

Sample above was knit with lighthouse Waves yarn on US Size 10 needles

The picture above is of the Autumn Acorn Cowl, which is available for purchase on Craftsy

This stitch pattern was requested by one of my YouTube friends.  This is a long one, so grab a cup of tea, and sit back!

This stitch pattern is worked on a multiple of 10 plus 2 (you will need at least 22 stitches to work the pattern).  To start, you will knit Rows 1-13, and then only repeat from Row 2 for the pattern

Notes and Abbreviations:

When working the cables, you can knit the stitches directly from the cable or double

pointed needle, or slip the stitches back to the left needle and knit from the needle.

Sl – slip stitch

K – knit

P- purl

BC – Back Cross – slip the next two stitches onto cable or double pointed needle, hold in

back of work. Knit two from left needle, then purl two from cable needle

FC – Front Cross – slip the next two stitches onto cable or double pointed needle, hold in

front of work. Purl two from left needle, then knit two from cable needle
