Asynchronous Lace


Multiple of 5 + 1

If you are knitting this stitch pattern from the start, knit or purl a row first so you can work the k1b in Row 1 of the stitch pattern.


Row 1: (RS) *p1, k1b, p1, yo, ssk*, end k1
Rows 2 and 4: purl
Row 3: *p1, k1b, p1, k2tog, yo*, end k1

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.  Happy Knitting!
