Today’s block uses a technique we have not presented yet in this project: sp1k2PSSO. That is: slip 1 st as if to purl (holding your yarn at the back), k2, and pass the slipped st over those 2 knitted sts. The most common mistake here is to knit the 2 sts together after slipping the first st, instead of knitting both separately. And that’s why I’m mentioning it 😉 Therefore, please pay attention there to avoid unintended decreases!
If you have any doubt, write to me and I’ll help you 🙌
🧶Happy knitting!

You can now buy the final PDF file containing all 16 patterns of my Mystery Lace Blanket KAL HERE. 63 pages that include general details of the project, photos, written intructions and charted instructions to make both versions of the blanket (individual blocks and seamless), plus instructions for 3 lace pattern separators.
As a “Lace Stitch Patterns” minibook it could be a great resource for your future projects!
REMEMBER that you can contact me at any time if you need help to adapt a pattern to make an entire blanket or dishtowel with it. I’ll be happy to help 😊
– CO 65 sts with US 6 (4 mm) needles.
I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevent my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight. |
– With US 4 (3,5 mm) needles, knit 6 rows.
Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border. |
– Continue working as follows:
5 garter sts, LACE PATTERN N°13 over 55 sts, 5 garter sts.
Work 7 times the LACE PATTERN N 13 complete and then rows 1) to 9) again.
– Knit 6 rows.
– Bind off with US 6 (4 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
– Block your square to its final measures.

AFTER knitting lace pattern N°12 and the garter st rows (or one of the lace patterns separators I shared for the seamless version of this KAL), you’ll have 195 sts again in your needle.
Continue working as follows:
6 garter sts, LACE PATTERN N°13 over 183 sts, 6 garter sts
After knitting the Lace Pattern for 4’’ (10 cm), ending with a WS row, work 4 rows
in garter stitch, increasing 5 sts evenly in the first row (you end up with 200 sts)
and decreasing 5 sts evenly in the last row (you end up with 195 sts again).
I calculated the final length for the seamless blanket assuming that each lace pattern is to be knitted for approx. 4’’ (10 cm), with 4 rows of garter stitch in between lace patterns.
Row 1) (RS) [k3, p1, k1, yo, skp, k5, p1, k3, p1, k5, k2tog, yo, k1, p1], k1
Row 2) p1, [k1, p8, k1, p3, k1, p8, k1, p3]
Row 3) [sp1k2PSSO, p1, k2, yo, skp, k4, p1, sp1k2PSSO, p1, k4, k2tog, yo, k2, p1], k1
Row 4) p1, [k1, p8, k1, p1, yo, p1, k1, p8, k1, p1, yo, p1]
Row 5) [k3, p1, k3, yo, skp, k3, p1, k3, p1, k3, k2tog, yo, k3, p1], k1
Row 6) p1, [k1, p8, k1, p3, k1, p8, k1, p3]
Row 7) [sp1k2PSSO, p1, k4, yo, skp, k2, p1, sp1k2PSSO, p1, k2, k2tog, yo, k4, p1], k1
Row 8) p1, [k1, p8, k1, p1, yo, p1, k1, p8, k1, p1, yo, p1]
Row 9) [k3, p1, k5, yo, skp, k1, p1, k3, p1, k1, k2tog, yo, k5, p1], k1
Row 10) p1, [k1, p8, k1, p3, k1, p8, k1, p3]
Row 11) [sp1k2PSSO, p1, k6, yo, skp, p1, sp1k2PSSO, p1, k2tog, yo, k6, p1], k1
Row 12) p1, [k1, p8, k1, p1, yo, p1, k1, p8, k1, p1, yo, p1]
k all sts, all rows.
