Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Knit Stitch Pattern

Materials used in the video:

Yarn:RED HEART® Soft® and RED HEART® Sparkle Soft™,

Needle: Size 8 (5mm)

Stitch Markers: 2 markers for sample. I prefer to use stitch markers that are about the same size as the needle I am using so I don’t get ladders in my knitting.

Yarn Needle: Bent Tip Steel Yarn Needle

Special Stitches

Garter Stitch (Gtr St): Straight — Knit all sts every row. Circular — Rnd 1: Knit. Rnd 2: Purl. Rep rnds 1 and 2 for Gtr St.

ssk: (slip, slip, knit) Slip 2 sts, 1 at a time, knitwise to the rhn; return sts to lhn in turned position and knit them together through the back loops (1 st decreased).

k2tog: (knit two stitches together) Knit 2 sts together (1 st decreased).

yo: yarn over needle (1 st increased).


PATTERN (used in video)

Stitch Pattern Multiple: 3 sts +1.

The plus one is to keep the last yo (see special stitches) of row in place. You will notice that the sample swatch I show on the video has an extra 4 sts on either side of the markers that are kept in Garter Stitch (see special stitches) and they take the place of the +1. I only point it out incase you are wondering why I only have 21 stitches between the marker instead of 22. Now you know.

(worked straight)

Sample swatch used in video: CO 29 sts.

Row 1: Knit 4 sts, place marker (PM), knit to last 4 sts, PM, knit to end.

Keep the first 4 and the last 4 stitches in garter stitch (see special stitches) throughout the pattern. The marker is there to help you remember.

Row 2: Knit

Row 3: Knit

Row 4: Knit to marker, slip marker, [begin Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Knit Stitch Pattern between the markers] *k1, yo, k2tog; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 5: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 9: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end. 

Note: you should see that your stitches are leaning towards the right. This is because the k2tog leans the stitch to the right. 

Row 10: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, ssk (see special stitches), yo; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 11: Knit to marker, slip marker, purl to marker, slip marker, knit to end.

Row 14: Knit to marker, slip marker, *k1, ssk (see special stitches), yo; rep from * to marker, slip marker, knit to end.  

Note: you should see the stitches you created in rows 10-14 are leaning toward the left. This is because the ssk leans the stitch to the left. 

Rows 15, 16, 17: Knit

Repeat rows 4-17 and alternate colors if you want to get the same multi color look that you see in the video.

To make the Zig Zag Eyelet Trellis Lace Scarf, simply work in the repeat until the scarf measures at least 75″ then bind off knitwise.
