Feather Lace Knit Stitch Free

1. The feather lace knit stitch pattern is beautiful.
   What do each of the symbols on the chart mean? What are their abbreviations?
   I would love to be able to knit this pattern; please help me understand it.

   1. I haven’t tested this by knitting it, but my best guess based on comparing the chart to the pattern, is that the first row reads (from right to left):
      knit 1, purl 1, knit 2, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit 2, purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, knit 2, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit 2, purl 1, knit 1.
      Because the rows only have odd numbers, the even numbered rows are just knit all the way across.
      The blank spaces indicate stitches that were decreased out in a prior row, so they’re not stitched in this one.
      The section that is bracketed by “MS” is the part that will be repeated to make the piece wider. I would highlight this section on the chart, and place markers in my knitting to separate the repeats.

   2. Actually I think the first row would be
      *K1, yo, k2, k2tog, skpo, k2, yo*, rpt from * to last st, k1.

      I’m not sure about why/how the pattern increases and decreases up the rows, I would have to knit it out to check.
