Notes

Not many patterns were made for this yarn, so it’s nice to have found this one.

Thanks to Suz niranu for pointing out the correct needle size US 10 6.0 mm for this pattern. I made a swatch with US 15 10.0 mm and my gauge was 10 st / 4” vs the needed 16 st.

I learned something new!
Lateral Braid!
If I can do it, anyone can!
It’s important to use sharply pointed (lace) needles for this stitch.

Here’s a link for the Lateral Braid row that I found useful:

Thanks, Knotions!

I was having a hard time making the decorative stitch pattern in between the lace section. My yarn is dark and it couldn’t be seen well. I changed to another bobble pattern that I learned in a previous project,
Avalanche Hood.
