GAUGE:

24 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Lace Pattern.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

ssk (slip, slip, knit)- slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time to right needle, insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them together.

Shimmery Shawl Reviewed by Elise Baker on 2012-12-21 ****
The pattern is wonderful for a first-time lace-knitter like myself. One observation - there seems to be an inconsistency in the pattern. There are six pattern rows that form the stair-step design: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21.

Rows 5 and 21 are the same.
Rows 9 and 17 are inverses of each other (3-2-1 pattern on 9 and 1-2-3 on 17.)
Rows 1 and 13 are completely unrelated to each other by stitch count (5-3 on 1, 4-4 on 13).

This causes a slight 'hiccup' in the pattern that has mildly bothered me through the knitting, but I'm too close to Christmas to figure out if 1 should have been inverted, or should have been identical to 13.
