In this pattern you can learn or practice how to cast on using the Turkish Cast-on method, an easy, yet engaging lace pattern, to create German short row heel and a delicate cuff edge using the Picot Bind-off technique. The pattern includes descriptions in detail about all the techniques mentioned above and a complementary video about the Picot Bind-off.
