 Lace Pattern Stitch 
 (multiple of 6 stitches):

 Important Notes
To measure the length of a piece as you’re working, count rows and refer to the gauge, since the fabric changes radically with blocking.
When working increases or decreases, work the Lace Pattern St only on full 6-st repeats. If you have fewer than 6 sts, work them in stocking stitch.
