LEARN A NEW STITCH!

FREE PATTERN – KNIT

Today’s pattern is Herringbone Lace.  I created a border of 3 knit rows at the beginning and the end of the pattern and 2 knit stitches at each end of every row.

 The pattern is very basic and easy to work up.  I think it would be great worked up into a sweater.
