Timeline of a Distraction

Indulge in the delicate beauty of lace knitting with our stunning pattern inspired by traditional Estonian designs. With billowing lace elements and charming nupps, this exquisite project serves as a beautiful distraction during these interesting times, allowing knitters to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and craftsmanship.

For this pattern, you'll need just one 800-metre skein of laceweight yarn, or approximately 777 metres, making it a perfect choice for those looking to use their favorite stash yarn or try out something new.

**Gauge:** To ensure your project turns out beautifully, note that 2 repeats of the paw pattern from Chart A will yield 14 sts and measures approximately **9 cm**. Additionally, for the #0 row (which includes 2 vertical repeats of the paw pattern, such as rows 9-37), you can expect a measurement of approximately **9.5 cm**.

**Skills Required:** This lace knitting pattern is designed for those who enjoy a challenge, as the lace is only worked on right-side rows. Nupps are featured in the design, but you have the flexibility to easily replace them with beads or omit them altogether depending on your preference. If you decide to embark on your first nupp adventure, remember to work them loosely. This will ensure that you can easily insert your needle when it's time to purl all 7 loops together on the subsequent wrong-side row. Trust us; it gets easier with practice and brings a rewarding challenge to your knitting journey!

By choosing this gorgeous lace knitting pattern, you're not just creating a beautiful piece; you're also engaging in a traditional craft that has stood the test of time. Join our community of passionate knitters and enhance your skills with this enchanting project!
