GAUGE:
12 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in 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.
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.

Step 4: Yarn over and draw through all loops on hook - 4 sts decreased.

Lace Inc (increase of 4 sts)
Work (dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc) all in same indicated st for lace inc - 4 sts increased.

NOTES:
Each dc3tog over 5 sts (4-st dec) is paired with a lace inc (4-st inc), so stitch count will not change throughout this pattern.
