Not only is the Vine Lace Zig Zag pattern a beautiful lace stitch, it is also an easy stitch pattern to knit.
In fact, the gorgeous lace pattern is created by the basic construction principle of a “yo, k1, yo” structure that moves 1 over for 10 rows before reversing.
Once it has moved back for another 10 rows, you have created a lovely zig-zag lace pattern.
Actually, it is also a lace pattern that you can be a bit creative with.
If you only repeat the first 10 rows, you are creating a pretty, crescent-shaped lace pattern.
Either way, this is a lace pattern that will look gorgeous in a shawl or scarf when knitted in a fine or super fine weight yarn.
