Yarn: Tactile Fiber Arts Studio Klamath Lace (100% linen; 750 yards [686 meters]/113 grams): Nori (1 skein)
Hook: US size G/6 (4.0 mm) hook
Notions: Yarn needle

Special Stitches

Tunisian simple stitch (Tss): Insert hook from side-to-side (right-to-left for right-handers and left-to-right for lefthanders) under the front vertical bar (or indicated lp) of next stitch, yarn over and draw up lp. (Leave lp on hook.)

Pattern Notes

Each row consists of both a forward pass (FwdP) and a return pass (RetP). For this pattern, all RetP: [Yo and pull through 2 lps] until only 1 lp remains on hook.
The lp on the hook at the beg of every row counts as the first st of the row. Do not work the first st of the previous row when working the FwdP.
This pattern is done in both rows and tiers. A tier consists of a ribbon like strip of rows. When one tier is completed the work is turned and a new tier is attached to the previous tier in a modular fashion.
