knitted lace

Knitted lace is a technique of creating fabric with open, decorative patterns by strategically manipulating the stitches during knitting. It involves combining areas of tightly knit stitches with intentionally loose or yarn-over stitches to form intricate, airy designs such as floral motifs, geometric shapes, or delicate motifs. This process requires careful control and planning, resulting in lightweight, elegant textiles used for garments, shawls, and accessories. The openwork nature of lace enhances visual interest and texture, showcasing the skill of the knitter while producing a fabric that is both decorative and functional.
