  2. This is beautiful, I look forward to learning to do this. When I tried to watch the video it states it is private did I miss something? Thank you for your help.

    1. You need a stitch number multiple of 6sts.
      Cast on: 30 sts and please note: from 1:25 to 8:52 and from 10:20 to 15:20 of the video
      (8:55 -> 9:40: Knit all sts)
      Happy knitting!

  3. The video is listed as private.... would really like to watch it! I don't understand what the second row means by 'wrap the five stitches twice'

    1. You can use a cable needle for this row, wrap yarn twice clockwise

  5. Sorry -- I fell in love with this pattern and needed the video to figure it out, but now all of the written instructions are gone :( And I don't speak German so I can't understand the video outside of visual learning (and I knit English so even that's a bit of a challenge!) Could you put the written instructions back up, please?

  8. introduced in Barbara Aytes book "Adventures in Knitting" published in 1968 - p. 79 - she called it "Lacy Daisy" and claims to have invented it.. I would be more prone to use Elizabeth Zimmermann's term "unvented" ;)
