Grandma’s Rose Garden is Shetland based, but is knit in one piece from one delicate lacy edge to the other. There are no sewn or knitted on borders.

All four rose-filled lace edges are garter based and are set apart from the middle section by a double row of eyelets. The center panel can be worked in either a garter or stockinette base and is made up of a network of rose trellises which opens to reveal two separate fields of roses.

Because of the Rose Trellis motif’s 22 row construction, the whole pattern had to be charted. This and page size constraints resulted in 19 easy to read charts.

Patience, concentration, and an eye for detail are required to complete this pattern.

This stole measures approximately 26 x 80 once blocked.

CORRECTION: Chart 9, page 10, Row19 on the left border. The 1st stitches after the Chart B insert says “4 sts) but it’s really 5 sts.
