Dora Kerwan’s Lace

An embroidered linen doily with knitted lace edging featuring a design of diamonds and zig-zags

This week’s knitting pattern is a knitted diamond lace edging designed by Dora Kerwan in 1954.

The photograph shows it knit with size 30 thread as an edging for a linen doily, but it would be equally as beautiful as an edging on a knitted lace shawl.

As always, I have updated it into modern knitting terms, added a chart, and have tested it for errors using stitch maps.

If you have any special requests for patterns that are in the public domain, please let me know and I’ll see what I have in my collection that might suit!
