Note: To get the most out of your skein weigh it before starting, cast on and knit the first 6 rows of the band and weigh it again (note how much you have used). Continue with the lace panel repeats until you have the same weight as noted at the start left on your skein, now knit the last 6 rows and cast off.

One Size - using all of the skein.

Unblocked - width approx 22 cm, length approx 148 cm. Blocked - width approx 27 cm, length approx 167 cm. Size can be easily altered - for length continue with the repeats until you have your desired length. For width increase cast on stitches by 15 stitches increments. Enlarging the size will require more than the amount of yarn stated.
