CAL Step 2: Victorian Lattice Quarter-Square Pattern

Victorian Lattice: Quarter-Square (Make 4)

Update! I have changed these patterns to reflect the language of the original Victorian Lattice Square pattern! I have also addressed the issue regarding the trouble with shaping the partial pieces that some folks are having. I did not change my photographs, so the photos still reflect my original instructions. We are working on having the partials translated into chart form, so that should help!

Ch-3, join with slip stitch to make a ring.

Row 1: All in Ring: SC, Ch-1, (DC, Ch-1) 3 times, DC all in Ring, turn work. 5 DC. (Wrong Side)

Row 2: (SC, Ch-1, DC) in first chain space. Ch-2, (DC2TOG in next chain space, Ch-2) 2 times, DC2TOG in final chain space, turn work.

Row 3: SC in first DC. Ch-6, SC in first chain space. (Ch-3, SC in next chain space) 2 times, Chain 3, TR in final chain of row below, turn work.

Row 4: SC in top of TR, Ch-3, 5 DC in Ch-3 space, SC in next chain space, Ch-4, SC in next chain space, 5 DC,  Ch-2, DC in second chain from beg SC of row below, turn work.

Row 5: SC in top of first DC, Ch-3, 2 DC in chain space, DC in next 4 stitches, skip 1 DC, Ch-4, SC in chain space, Ch-4, skip 1 DC, DC in next 4 stitches, 2 DC in final chain space, Ch-2, DC in second chain from beg SC of row below, turn work.

Row 7: SC in first DC, Ch-2, 2 DC in chain space, DC in next 6 stitches, 2 DC in next chain space, Ch-4, SC in next chain space, Ch-4, 2 DC in next chain space, DC in next 6 stitches, 2 DC in final chain space, Ch-2, DC in second chain above beg SC on row below, turn work.

Row 8: SC in first DC, Ch-3, 2 DC in first chain space, DC in next 10 stitches, 2 DC in next chain space, Ch-1, 2 DC in next chain space, DC in next 10 stitches, 2 DC in final chain space, Ch-2, DC in second chain before beg SC in row below, turn work.

Row 9: SC Ch-3, SC in first DC, SC in all stitches across (including Ch-1), end with (SC, Ch-3, SC) in final chain space.. Finish off! 🙂

Alternate finishing for Row 9 to make a more professional join:

Cut yarn after Row 8. Re-join yarn with Row 8 facing up. Work Row 9 and finish off. Both Row 8 and 9 will be on the right side, for a nicer look when joining.
