After short rows plus a couple of rounds, beginning on the round where there are 50 stitches for the front panel (for size 4) I started the lace repeat. Lace rows always coincide with increase rounds so that knit rounds are always just knit, I placed an extra marker to show where to start counting for the lace repeat since the stitch counts will change every other row. Center flower of top row should be on center of front panel

1) knit 10, (yo, SSK, K12)
2) knit
3) k8, (k2tog, YO, K1, YO, SSK, k9)
4) knit
5) repeat row 1
6, 7, 8) Knit
9) k2, (yo, SSK, k12)
10) knit
11) (k2tog, YO, k1, yo, SSK, k9)
12, 13, 14) Knit

Tip - each offset row of flowers, stitch 6 of the k12 should fall in the same column as the YO from the last row of the previous flowers.
