Description

From the book: "This beautiful lace, a traditional Italian pattern, incorporates two lace designs into one. Either may be worked singly. The "wave" design, a miniature Continental-Style Chevron, can be worked by repeating Rows 1-6. The "leaf" pattern is developed by Rows 7-16. In working the double yo's from the wrong side, care must be taken to keep the "k1, pl' and "p1, kl" in their proper places, otherwise the strands supporting the leaf motifs will not be correctly twisted. Note also the 5-stitch decrease that occurs in Rows 11, 15, 27, and 31."
