Dress of Many Patterns – lace pattern #1

I thought it was time to write an update on the Dress of Many Patterns and share my own lace sampler swatch in progress.

The first row of the eight-row repeat staggers the diagonal of eyelets formed; the pattern is worked in multiples of five stitches and an eight-row repeat. The stitch count remains the same – five stitches per repeat – for each repeat of the pattern throughout.

If you’re interesting in trying it yourself, the pattern is below.

Gauge: one 5-st repeat and 8 rows = 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch tall.
