Lily of the Valley

Yarn: Cascade 220, color: natural
Wraps Per Inch: 9 wpi
Needles: 5mm, US size 8
Gauge: 19 stitches in 4 inches
Pattern: Lily of the Valley
Stitch Count Repeat: Multiple of 27sts
Book: A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns
Page: 226

Difficult Techniques: Slipping the first of the 4 stitches required to make the ‘lily’ knots can be a bit tricky because it is a little tight to get the needle inserted easily.

Comments: Barbara Walker comments that the pattern would look more lily-like if the pattern were used upside down, but, in my opinion, right side up it looks more like a true stem of Lily of the Valley.
