I prefer sk2p when writing my patterns because it takes up less space. :) Want to knit your own swatch? Here’s the pattern for my swatch: CO 24 sts. Knit 1 row on WS. Row 1 (RS): k2, yo, k3, cdd, k3, yo, k2, yo, k3, sk2p, k3, yo, k2. Row 2 (WS): k2, purl to the last 2 sts, k2. Rep rows 1 – 2 another 6 times. Knit 2 rows. BO on RS. Enjoy your lace swatch!
