The lace patterns are presented in both text and chart form. If you're new to lace knitting we highly recommend starting with the text instructions then, after a few row repeats, switching to the charted instructions. Try placing a post-it note, or even better, a strip of low-tack highlighter tape, right above the row you are about to knit. Now you'll be able to see, stitch by stitch, what you need to do next, as well as what kind of knitting should be directly under those stitches.
