Lace Lemon Vest — Body Lace Stitch Chart (hem section, worked as charted) The body lace is a shell-and-mesh pattern: - Row: work a fan/shell of dc (about 7 dc) into a ch space, ch, sc into the next space, ch — repeat across (10-st repeat). - Next rows: stack shells over the ch spaces of the previous row, offset so open diamonds form between the fans. - Hem edge: a row of scalloped dc shells finishes the bottom. Symbols: oval = ch, + = sc, T with bars = dc/tr fans.
Notes
Shell-and-mesh lace, 10-st repeat, with a scalloped shell hem. Follow the chart for exact fan counts.
