NEW Youtube Video for the Horseshoe Lace Knitting Stitch
I have created a new step by step video tutorial for this lace stitch. Please follow along with it and subscribe to my new youtube channel!
Love this pattern.
I particularly like the scalloped edge at the beginning and am curious as to how I can get this at cast off (bind off) as well?
For example, if I were to knit a scarf or a shawl in this stitch, how would I get each end to match?
I love this pattern and would love to knit it up. But I don’t know what weight yarn I should use or how much. Can you help?
I absolutely love this pattern. It seems fairly uncomplicated, EXCEPT FOR:
What does this symbol mean found in rows 3, 5 & 7? ” � ”
Row 3: k1 *k1, yo, k2,� sl1, k2tog, psso, k2, yo, k2
Row 5: k1 *k2, yo, k1,� sl1, k2tog, psso, k1, yo, k3*
Row 7: k1 * k3, yo,� sl1, k2tog, psso,, yo, k4*
As far as I know, this is a capital A with accent � on top in the French language.
So what does it mean in English?
What does this � symbol mean. I have not come across this before.
Thank you
Hi, that was a glitch on the website that was throwing out strange symbols, I have has it fixed.
Hi,
How do you achieve the scallopped edge at the end, like at the beginning?
Sorry I am fairly new to knitting 😉
Hi, if you follow the pattern it turns out scalloped.
The beginning is scalloped. How can you get the end to scallop as well. Repeat row 1?
Thank you for this! If I made it with a sport-weight yarn and maybe size 8 knitting needles, could it work as a blanket for a bed?
I would like to make this as a throw blanket but I’d like to have a simple boarder on it. Any suggestions as to how I can do that? Thanks
