This “Dancing Leaf” (sometimes called Vine Lace) stitch pattern probably can’t be bettered as an introduction to serious lace knitting. There are four rows to the pattern: two are purled. So you work the first row, then purl the next; the next pattern row is exactly the same as the first row, but offset by one stitch. Purl a row, then start over. Simple. But when showcased over a large field of fabric, as here, and since Selesnick has chosen such a luxe yarn as the Savoy (52% silk, 48% merino), it looks rich and magical and like it was woven by fairies.
