Is there anything better than simple, yet beautiful lacework?

And what’s the best way to make lace even simpler? Why, working it in the round of course! This means the knitting simply flies with rounds of knit stitches between rounds of eyelets. Throw in a little seed stitch for texture and the added twist of splitting the lace down its natural diagonal line and you’ve got a true stunner.

It’s a one-skien wonder that will give you the opportunity to say “Thanks, I made it!” again and again!
