Eyelet Lace Ribbing Knitting Pattern

This post may contain affiliate links - read the disclaimer.

This pretty pattern is a great way to upgrade the ribbing on a knitting project. By adding rows of lace in the ‘knit’ part on the right side of the pattern you make an otherwise functional part of a sweater or other project a lot more interesting. The pattern is only two rows long so it memorizes quickly.
