Leafy Lace knitting stitch

The Leafy Lace knitting stitch is a beautiful lace stitch. Although it does take some concentration while working the rows, it's worth the effort when you complete it. After a couple repeats, it's not too hard to get the hang of it. This stitch pattern works in multiples of 10 + 1 over a 16 row repeat.

Below there is a video tutorial and a chart for you, as well.
