Cane Work Design is very open and stretchy. The chart  and written directions provided on my web site is for knitting flat but can easily be converted to knitting in the round for socks by purling the even rows instead of knitting them. according to The Art of Knitting 1897

I have posted another pattern from The Art of Knitting, 1897. This is called Knotted Stitch. It was very difficult to chart. The stitch has almost no stretch.

I like the challenge of knitting lace but there are too many wonderful patterns for scarves and shawls I want to make. Also I don't like to commit to large projects like shawls and scarves and I don't even like to wear scarves and shawls.

So to get my lace fix, I'm rewriting and charting many of the stitch patterns in The Art of Knitting, 1897.

Why am I rewriting the patterns?
The text and abbreviations are nothing like the way patterns are written today. It's almost like translating a foreign language.

Example: n is k2tog and th o is yarn over
