Lieschen

Lieschen is a lace edging for a tablecloth, 69 cm square, according to the original description. It was designed by Herbert Niebling of course. The tablecloth has a narrow trim along the sides with extravagant corners.

The original pattern requires15 g of white yarn No. 200, steel knitting needles No. 0 (old German sizes) and white fabric. Cast on 8 stitches for a corner figure and knit according to chart 16a. Purl the return rows. From the 7th round repeat the section highlighted in pink five times. After Round 72 bind off loosely. Make four corners.

Make the narrow side strips following chart 16b. Cast on 21 stitches and repeat the four rows as many times as necessary for the length required. Make four side strips. Block the strips and corner pieces appropriately. Then sew the corner figures and edge strips together, and sew the whole to the fabric.

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!
