1884 knitted lace…and another cloth, this one is approximately 6” by 6” and uses worsted weight cotton with 5mm needles again.

I found these two lace stitch patterns in the instructions for a baby’s veil. This is my interpretation of the instructions, as they used different terminology in those days. I am using them in another design-in-progress using hand-painted yarn, and the cloth is the way I practiced the stitches. If you like the combination, watch for more “Painted Veil” patterns!

You can use any worsted weight cotton to make these small cloths. I like to use them on my desk, under my coffee mug. They are also great to use for small clean-up jobs instead of a piece of paper towel! Or make a couple to use as washcloths, and include a bar of locally-made soap as a nice little gift to a friend or co-worker.
