Description

From the book: "This unique and beautiful pattern, while not technically an eyelet or a lace, is definitely openwork, since the running threads are lifted in Row 2 to leave holes beneath them. In addition to these rows of holes the pattern shows a nubby texture. It has a great deal of lateral spread and the knitter must be careful not to cast on too many stitches. Used in large areas it may tend to go slightly bias."

Notes

Ramona once knit all 64 of the squares in Barbara Walker’s “Learn-to-Knit Afghan Book,” which gave her a sound basis in knitting. She enjoyed knitting this swatch as it was similar to squares in that book.
