In my never-ending quest to do the unexpected, this Teeter Totter Toque is true knitted lace with patterning on every row. But don’t let that scare you because you are knitting in the round. This means that all of the wrong-side, purled decreases are actually worked on right-side rounds, which means no purling. Combined with a delicious warm brown acrylic yarn, this is pretty far away from what one might envision as “knitted lace.”

Yarn Color: Dark Taupe
Notions: Stitch marker, tapestry needle

Pattern can be worked entirely from written instructions or with supporting charts.
