Explore lace knitting in a new graphic way. Aleks Byrd has given lace a new look by layering lace patterns made from yarn overs and decrease stitches seamlessly over top stockinette stitch. We will create a small lace overlay swatch to learn some lace knitting basics and how to seamlessly attach lace panels onto a planned Stockinette swatch. You’ll be ready to tackle fun lace overlay patterns like the Täppid hat & mitts.
