This is an old Shetland <strong>Lace</strong> pattern that was used in the 1800ʼs to imitate patches of<br />
fields in a pastoral countryside...again reflective of the Victorian obsession with imitating<br />
Nature through their Artwork.<br />
Materials: 80-100 yards of worsted wool or cotton, US8 (5mm) needles<br />
Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows per four inches in Stockinette Stitch<br />
Abbreviations: K = knit P = purl YO = yarn over<br />
K2tog = knit two stitches together<br />
SSK = slip one stitch as if to purl, then slip another stitch as if to purl,<br />
insert LH needle through the 2 sts and knit them together<br />
SEED = *K1, P1; rep from * to last st, end K1 on an odd number of sts
CAST ON 45 stitches and SEED four rows. Next row: SEED 40 sts, make one new<br />
stitch, end with SEED 5 stitches (total 46 sts).<br />

<strong>Work</strong> 8 rows in Garter Stitch to prepare for the next square if you are making the<br />
afghan. Place stitches on holder or leave on needle until next Wednesday!<br />
Take care and do let me know if there are any issues, so that I can respond and correct<br />
them. With great respect, love and light to you all,<br />
