CHARITY: Vine Lace Pattern

The vine lace pattern is one of the very easiest lace designs, perfect for anyone's first attempt at doing lace.

It's from the Barbara Walker Treasury of Knitting Patterns I, and is on page 218. Both rows of the pattern are the same, exceot they alternate position by one stitch. The cast on edge is slightly scalloped.

It's a multiple of 9 stitches plus 4: That means, if you want it wider or narrower, just add or subtract 9 stitches. Then at the end, however many 9-stitch repeats you have, you add 4 stitches.

Rows 1 and 3 (wrong side rows)---PURL.
Row 2---K3, *yo, k2, ssk, k2tog, k2, yo, k1; repeat from *, end with K1.
Row 4---K2, *yo, k2, ssk, k2tog, k2, yo, k1; repeat from *, end with K2.

I cast on and knitted 6 rows of garter stitch, then added 3 stitches on each side for a garter edging at the beginning and end of the pattern stitches. At the end of the pattern repeats (however long you want it), add 6 rows of garter and cast off.
