A variation on the classic and ever popular Feather and Fan knit stitch, the Ostrich Plume lace knit stitch is just as eye-catching, but lesser known.
The pattern for this version of the stitch requires a multiple of sixteen plus one stitches and is worked over thirty-two rows. The lace sequence is worked into the motif over eight rows and in-between it's just relaxing rows of knit and purl.
