Welcome to Lesson 3 of the Japanese Knitting Mini-Lesson series! This lesson walks you through a free pattern for a lacy summer/spring top, and focuses on explaining how to read garment schematics and chart for lace stitch patterns.

If you need help with a Japanese pattern that you own, I do offer private translation help on my Ko-Fi page. Please see my rate and a description of my service here: https://ko-fi.com/seedlingstitch/comm...
