“Pattern from history” posts were born when my lovely grandmother gave me all (well, almost all) of her old pattern sheets. And it was many. She collected those years and years and I think it’s a fantastic reflection of knitting history of our little country.
To make this little bit personal, I try to put little bit history of Estonia behind the year of the pattern. And I try to add all that my grandmother can remember and can tell me.
I added “can tell me” because my granny is little protective of me – she shares what she thinks I can handle – I’m a sensitive nature you see?
I love her for that, but I can’t always get the whole truth about all that has happened.

This lace pattern is very easy – perfect for beginners. Not too much to remember. Lace pattern itself is small yet delicate enough.
Pattern repeat is 10 stitches + 1 for symmetry.

This is a beautiful beginning lace pattern. It would be perfect made into a scarf.
Yes isn’t it 🙂 I thought about scarf… but I have one on my needles (that one day would be new pattern if I get to it 😀 ) But it would be one of my next projects…
Each one of these stitch patterns is marvelous. Thank you so much for sharing them with us, Mari-Liis. 😀
Thank you Toni and they really are beautiful… 🙂
Oh, that is beautiful! One of these days, I’m going to stroll through your collection of these lovely stitch patterns & find the prettiest one for a shawl project! I have this wonderful murky green I want to turn into a stole, but don’t know which lace pattern I should use. 🙂
Oh I think any lace pattern would be awesome 😉
