from Needlecraft Magazine, October 1925
This pattern is an adaptation by Mrs G.H. Kimball, of Leaf and Acorn Lace. This version has been corrected, updated into modern knitting language and charted by Sarah Bradberry, 2016. Please note: There is a small error in my knitted sample on the tiny leaf at the zig-zag edge. This has been fixed in the pattern below.
