N.B.:
If you’re knitting with a thinner yarn, please note that for the lace pattern, you’ll need to cast on multiples of 12 + 2 (edge/selvage) stitches.
The odd rows form the right side of the work.
The edge/selvage stitches (the first and the last) will be knitted on each odd row, and purled on the even rows.
After the first row, the stitch count changes. We’ll end up with 8 more stitches per repeat.
Then, after the fifth row, we’ll end up with four stitches more per repeat.
Finally, after the sixth row, we’ll get back to the original number.
