Today’s pattern is from 1984. Year I was born. Look at all this lace with nupps.

This is so my kind of pattern. But it’s not the “knitting and watching Poirot” pattern. Focus is certainly needed.

So if you are in a need of a good challenge then this is the pattern for you. I will surely use it in near future – maybe on fingerless mittens I plan to teach (?).

Enjoy! 🙂

• k – knit;
• nupp – technique called nupp (you can read more about it here)
• k2tog – knit 2 stitches together;

• YO – yarn over;
