Description

From the book: "A picot eyelet is one that is heart-shaped rather than round. It is created by working (p1, k1) into a double yarn-over instead of the usual (k1, p1). This attractive pattern places picot eyelets in alternating diamonds, set off by solid borders."

Notes

Donna's mother taught her how to knit when she was young. She knit the Picot Eyelet Diamond swatch while at the beach, echoing her desire to make sure knitting is a relaxing and fun activity! She is slowly collecting Barbara Walker's books and enjoys other textile crafts, like embroidery, weaving, and dyeing.
