An amazing effect for very little effort (as long as you do count once in a while, as the numbers for the lace bits must match up (you only do 3 lace rows for for each 22 row repeat - the rest is basic knit, purl and M1s - so if you make mistakes in any of the non-lace 19 rows you are punished by the stage you come to the lace rows!)).

Madelinetosh Merino is a dream to work with and blocks like a champ. I’m not normally a big fan of variegated yarns, but this colour is otherworldly pretty.

Did 5 repeats + border lace and used a worsted weight instead of the sport weight suggested by pattern.
