Hexadecagon

Hexadecagon is an intricate and rewarding 16 pointed lace piece that is worked from the centre out, in the round.
Now featuring written and charted instructions for two versions, and written instructions for two separate bind offs.

This is an intermediate/advanced pattern inspired by my time in a therapeutic group of 16 people; I wanted to communicate via knitting how everyone’s lives can be intertwined in ways we cant see. It represents how we all have ‘threads’ (experiences) connecting us to one another, and how we all play a part in holding space for each other.

This updated pattern now includes two versions with both written and charted lace instructions. Featuring carefully designed stitch symmetry and beautiful flower petal motifs, it’s stunning when strung up in a window or hanging around on a vintage table. This is definitely meant to be shown off!

Version 1.0 is the traditional version in all its glory, made for that true doily experience, and the newest addition (Version 2.0) is my modernized version that aims to appeal more to my aesthetics and need for (some) ease.

Included are in-depth explanations for all stitches and instructions. Photos are provided throughout so that you can choose what version and bind off you would prefer. Two stitch counts are also included, to make for easier reference. (One count is stitches per needle, one is for total stitches. This pattern is divided equally between 4 needles.)

Recommended Materials

• Approximately 70-90m 2ply (lace weight) yarn
• 2 mm needles (US 0 / UK 14)
• 25-30cm metal or bamboo hoop (8-11”) (optional)
• 3-7m spare yarn or clear thread (optional)

NB: While these are the recommended materials please keep in mind that individual knitting styles and any adjustments made will affect how much yarn you use, and will also change how large your hoop will need to be.

I strongly recommend finishing your knitted piece before choosing a hoop size as lace knitting can be deceivingly stretchy.

Both written and charted lace instructions are included. The charts are advanced as they include areas of “no stitch” to allow for formatting.

This pattern has been test knit, and found to be comprehensive and all details correct.
