Knit with Aabhar – Checker Lace Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description

---

Checker Lace Stitch Knitting Pattern is a checkerboard-like arrangement of slanted boxes featuring stockinette stitch and eyelet lace work. It creates a soft, breathable, and flexible knitted fabric.

It’s an elegant and easy knitting pattern where every alternate row is a purl stitch. You can feature this gorgeous knitting pattern in projects such as cushion covers, light afghans, and even summer wraps. As it is a lacework pattern, it will work best with lightweight yarn.
