From the book: "This is not so much a pattern as a fancy way of knitting. Essentially it is an elongated garter stitch, with the base of each stitch twisted by the manner in which the yarn is passed over and around the needles. Its usefulness is not limited to the making of veils; a few rows of Veil Stitch makes very attractive horizontal insertions in a solid fabric, and as an allover mesh with plenty of stretch it is good for gloves, stockings, and other openwork articles. The directions seem more complicated than they really are. Once the technique is learned, and the fingers “understand” the action, the knitting goes quickly."Collection
