This pattern is meant to be stitched loosely creating an “open” fabric for drape

Suggested to use a circular needle – but this is stitched flat back & forth, do not join.

GAUGE: 4” sq  =  16 sts  x 16 rows  in stockinette stitch
*** if this is your first time knitting lace – gauge is not important as long as you have a fabric you like ***
