085/14 Apfelblüte
This is a delicate little doily, about 8 inches (22 cm) in diameter when knit with fine thread and needles. It was designed by Herbert Niebling, of course. See it here in the Ravelry database.
Instructions: Cast on 6 stitches, distribute on 3 needles, join in a round and repeat the chart 6 times per round. On the intermediate rounds, knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches.
There is an unusual stitch combination in round 59: "dec3to2 twist." When you come to that stitch pattern, first k2tog, then return the resulting stitch to the left needle. Then knit a left cross (hold the tip of the right needle behind the work, knit the second stitch through the back loop. Then move the tip of the right needle to the front of the work, knit the first stitch as usual.)
Decrease with a crochet hook in round 65, and chain 12 between the decreases. Starch and block.
Remember:
- Feel free to download and use the charts, print copies for your own use. However, you may not print them out and share them with others. Send folks to my website so they can download for themselves.
- I don't own the original pattern, but I do own my recharted version. So, please don't copy my charts and claim them as your own or publish them under your name. If you want to have your own charts, then find the original patterns and rechart them yourself!
- Do not sell copies of these charts. If I don't charge for my recharts, you certainly shouldn't charge for my recharts!
