Linnæum begins with a longtail cast on and is knitted as an asymmetric mitred rectangle with a spine created by a double decrease and corresponding increases along the edges.

A simple lace pattern in bands is interleaved with plain stocking stitch bands and wider sections with little knots or lilies.

The pattern is written out row by row. For the lace and knot motifs there are, in addition, charts – for the lily stitch you’ll also find a step by step tutorial.

There is a 6 (or 12)-row rhythm. If you combine the various repeats into multiples of 6 rows you can vary and pair the bands according to whim and simply plug in another band or sequence without having to adjust placement of lace or knots across rows – the rows are written out for you.
