The image shows a knitting pattern diagram with a lace motif.

Legend (according to the diagram):

• | — knit stitch

• – (dash) — purl stitch

• U — yarn over

• ∧ — knit 2 stitches together with a right slant

• V — knit 2 stitches together with a left slant

• T (triangle of three stitches) — knit 3 stitches together

• 5 / 4 — the number indicates the amount of stitches or yarn overs (contextually — the number of yarn overs or stitches)

How to read the diagram:

• The diagram is read from right to left on odd (knit) rows and from left to right on even (purl) rows.

• On purl rows: knit the stitches according to the pattern, yarn overs — purl.

• The repeat is marked as MS — it needs to be repeated in width.

• After the repeat, continue to arrow A.

Recommendations:

• Before starting to knit, it is advisable to make a swatch to ensure that the pattern density matches the description.

• Watch the balance of yarn overs and decreases to keep the number of stitches stable.
