The Vertical Feathered Lace stitch when knitted in the round produces a lace design with columns running vertically throughout the project. The stitch might look intricate, however, don’t let this fool you. Working with only basic increase and decrease techniques, the Vertical Feathered Lace stitch is very easy to knit. Knitted with only a 2-round repeat and done in a multiple of 5 stitches, this stitch pattern is easy to remember and is perfect for TV knitting.
This stitch pattern, rewritten for circular knitting, is great for cowls, berets, warm weather cover-up tops, and accent edgings for necklines and sleeves for sweaters.

Knitting Abbreviations
k2tog (knit 2 together): insert the right-hand needle into the first two stitches on the left-hand needle and wrap the working yarn around the right-hand needle as if you would for a knit stitch. Pull the yarn through both stitches and slide both stitches off the left-hand needle. You have now knitted two stitches together, thus resulting in a right-leaning decrease.
psso (pass slipped stitch over): This occurs after a slip stitch and regular stitch. Ex: k3, s1, k1, psso, k2. Knit 3 stitches, slip 1, knit 1, psso (lift slipped stitch over the knit 1 stitch and drop it off the needle), knit 2.
