Old Chinese coins - Ah! Procession of values passé.

Coin lace looks like an old Chinese coin, which is how it gets its name. Twisted every 4th row, it has a cable effect without actual cabling; each twist has an eyelet at the center. Inspired by Kate Gilbert's Clapotis, this Coin Lace Stole is knitted diagonally with a combination of coin lace and long-ladder patterns. Long-ladder stitches are dropped on every right side row. The following is a

description of the long-ladder pattern in Mary Thomas' Book of Knitting Patterns, p.100-101: "A stitch, when dropped, will leave an open ladder space about three times the normal width of the stitch, and in closely spaced, long ladder patterns will add considerably to the width of the fabric." To enhance the fabric structure, the stitch before and after the drop stitch is knitted through the back loop.

Experience: Intermediate. Size: Scarf: 12 x 65 inches after blocking. Stole: 17 x 65 inches after blocking. Materials: - 5 balls for the scarf and 7 balls for the stole elann.com Peruvian Baby Cashmere. - 3.5mm (US 4) straight needles. Gauge: 16 sts per 4 inches over pattern sts after blocking.

Knitting Notes: Coin lace: pass the 3rd st on your left hand needle over the first and second stitch on the left hand needle, then k 1, yarn over, k1 Drop stitch (D): Drop the stitch, pick up the drop stitch's top bar and knit this stitch Ktbl (b) : knit through back loop KI: knit front and back at the same stitch, 1 stitch increased PI: Purl 1 knit 1 in the same stitch, 1 stitch increased All the slip stitches: slip 1 Kwise *( )*: repeat
