Description

From the book: "This is a lace fabric in actuality, the only true eyelets being the ones on the edges of the pattern, formed by the first and last yarn-overs in Row 6. From these, however, the pattern takes its name. The remainder is a simple Shetland lace. The Shetland Eyelet Pattern makes a very pretty vertical insertion, such as might be used to dress up an otherwise plain sweater. Try one panel on either side of the front bands of a fine-yarn cardigan. On the other hand, when repeated throughout the fabric on a multiple of 9 stitches, it makes an attractive allover lace."
