Relaxed Trinity Lace
This pattern from 1892 Butterick’s The Art of Knitting, p.15, #20 was not easy to interpret. The 10 rows of instructions actually need just 4 rows to achieve the lace pattern. Traditional trinity stitch calls for endlessly increasing and decreasing on both right-side and wrong-wide rows. This pattern has plain rows on the wrong-side which I changed from knitting to purling since garter stitch didn’t look very tidy.
There’s a multiple of 6 stitches + 2 optional selvage stitches. I added selvage stitches to avoid starting a row with a yarn over that’s followed by an SK2P.
Skills needed: cast on, slip, knit, purl, YO, SK2P and bind off in knit stitch.
Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check gauge and appearance.
57 yards of Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 thread will make 10 inches of a 32-stitch-wide strip at gauge.
