Description

From the book: "In this version of the Lace Chevron, yarn-overs and decreases are made on every row, both right and wrong sides, in the manner of Spanish and Shetland laces. This produces a chevron that is twice as broad and half as high, in proportion, as the standard chevron. The lace is more delicate, being formed of single strands instead of twisted ones."
