Do I knit 3 at the beginning of row or just start the pattern? Either way, the stitches don't come out right for 48 stitches. Thanks for you're help.

This sounds complicated, but if you LOOK at the pattern and keep the lace lined up with the patterns below, it will work.<br />OR, take to a yarn shop or another knitter, and have them watch you over the 5 decrease rows.<br />hope that helps, chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530046359068388972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-87510295180881425382014-03-16T16:35:41.319-04:002014-03-16T16:35:41.319-04:00I am making your silk lace summer cardi.
