Description

From the book: "This is the basic lace stitch, upon which nearly all lace patterns are built. It is simply faggoting on the right side, backed by purl rows on the wrong side. Worked plain, it makes an openwork mesh that will pull the fabric on the bias, either to the right or left, depending upon whether the yarn-over is made before the decrease or after it. Therefore the trellis may be worked in either of two ways."
