Zigzag Eyelet Waves Free Knitting Stitch.
A delicate, airy lace fabric characterized by a flowing, almost wave-like pattern of eyelets and slanting stitches. The primary feature is a series of interconnected diagonal lines formed by openwork (eyelets) that appear to cascade across the fabric. These lines create a subtle chevron or zigzag effect as they repeatedly angle to the left before a new diagonal line begins. The spaces between these eyelet diagonals are filled with stockinette stitch, providing a soft background that makes the lace elements stand out. The repetition is consistent both horizontally and vertically, creating a continuous, elegant lace fabric with a good drape.
Legend Translation (УЗОР III – Pattern III):
- [|] (empty cell, or vertical line if filled) – Knit stitch (лицевая петля)
- [—] (horizontal line) – Purl stitch (изнаночная петля)
- [O] – Yarn over (накид)
- [/] (slash, diagonal line from bottom left to top right) – Knit 2 together (K2tog – right-leaning decrease)
- [\] (backslash, diagonal line from top left to bottom right) – Slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (SSK or SKP – left-leaning decrease)
Chart Notes:
- a to A with horizontal line – Rapport 11 stitches (раппорт 11 п) – This indicates that the pattern repeat is 11 stitches wide.
- Numbers 1-19 on the right side – These represent row numbers. For lace patterns like this, you typically read odd-numbered rows (right side) from right to left, and even-numbered rows (wrong side) from left to right, working stitches as they appear unless specified.
