Continue increasing the number of knit stitches between the yarn overs by 1 in every odd-numbered row and maintaining the purl stitches on even-numbered rows. This creates a widening lace pattern.
Repeat these 8 rows until your lace edge is the desired length. When you’re ready to finish, work the last wrong side row as follows:
Tips:
- Gauge: Work a gauge swatch to determine how many stitches and rows per inch you achieve with your chosen yarn and needle size.
- Yarn: Choose a yarn that complements the lace pattern. A lace or fingering weight yarn tends to work well for delicate lace edges.
- Blocking: Lace always benefits from blocking. Once your project is complete, block it to open up the lace pattern and give it a polished look.
- Experiment: Feel free to experiment with different lace patterns and adapt them to your liking. You can also combine lace patterns for a more intricate design.
This lace edge is just one example, and there are numerous lace patterns available to suit various preferences. Enjoy adding a touch of elegance to your knitting project!
