Inspiration from Lace Patterns

Posted by Megan Goodacre on Oct 28, 2010

I found this design in a 16th century lace design book called, delightfully, La Vera Perfezione del Disegno. Anything that claims True Perfection is intriguing. So I put this into the chart maker, and made some color variations.

In greys...

 

I'm not sure if I have the patience to use this kind of knitting chart for a whole garment, but I can see it as a border on a jacket... or mitts. The repeat is 36 rows and 36 stitches.
