Description

From the book: "This is the simplest of the Spanish diagonal lace patterns (see Diagonal Spanish Lace, Madeira Diamond Stitch), and it makes a very beautiful mesh with a strong diagonal line formed largely by the "'psso" of the double decrease. This pattern makes exquisite vertical insertions. Like most diagonal patterns it is ideal for circular knitting, as in seamless blouses or skirts."
