I'm writing my first knitting pattern. Definitely a work in progress.
I got the lace stitch pattern from The Knitter's Bible Stitch Library by Claire Crompton, (David & Charles 2010). Try it and tell me if I got it completely wrong or only slightly off.
I will update this as I work through the project and find my errors.
Cat's Paw Scarf
Lace inserts shaped like
cat's paws climb this scarf. The two panels are not even. I offset the start by two
rows for a “walking” effect.

more depending on length
