What you need to know

Lace knitting sounds complicated but actually there are only a few stitches involved. Here, a yarn forward increase is paired with a k2tog or skpo decrease to shape a pretty diamond motif. You’ll want to block your square to stretch out the eyelets and get it looking its best. The second square is Garter Stitch Steps which is made up of simple knit and purl stitches. Go on, give it a try!
