Candlelight Pattern

May 30, 2009 — vintagekathleen

Needles: 1.5mm (US 000)
Gauge: 12 sts/in (blocked)
Pattern: Candlelight Pattern
Stitch Count Repeat: Multiple of 20sts
Book: A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns

Comments: The reverse side also carries on the candlelight theme. While the halo around the flame in the RS version is recessed (reverse stockingnet), on the WS the halo stands out in relief (stockingnet), see below. The pattern requires relatively severe blocking.
