Notes

Personal mods & corrections
After you cast on and knit your garter, if you’re following the chart only, it leaves out that you need to knit one stitch before starting the pattern (only on the 1st repeat). This only applies to thg kace edging. Also the edging chart shows every row but the lace body chart only shows odd rows.

On chart B I swapped the decreases. This lace radiates fro center to edge but the decreases lean towards the center. This causes choppy lines. I swapped so that it resulted in smooth columns of stitches radiating center out.

Instead of p3tbl I’m doing a sssk. It is the mirror of k3tog so both edges of chart A match perfectly

I’m using ChiaoGoo needles and with this slick yarn, the p5tog are pretty easy. This lace is easy to follow and see where you are. I’m using markers between repeats, but have found I don’t need to track rows as its so easy to read.

I plan to knit this edge up in 2 pieces and graft in the center
