Stitch 24 – Striped Lace Stitch

Knitted in a multiple of 4+1 and 4 row repeat.

Row 1) Repeat (P1, K3), purl the last stitch
Row 2) Knit the first stitch then Repeat (P1, YO, P2tg, K1)

23 = 20(4*5) +1+2

In this case you have two options,

  1. Start the second row with Yarn over and keep continue as instruction says , or
  2. knit those 2 extras as they appear and don’t include them in pattern
