LEARN A NEW STITCH!

FREE PATTERN – KNIT

This is the Snowdrop Lace pattern I used for the scarf and the cowl I introduced earlier in the year. I think this is a very pretty pattern and it works up nicely. I made two sizes in this stitch.  The first one I made came out a little (okay, actually quite a bit) larger than I usually like for a dishcloth so I made a second one just a little smaller.  I have included the pattern for both.
