Today I am embarking on a new venture. Hairpin lace. I am making an ameboid-like shawl utilizing hairpin circles of various sizes into a unique pattern. I am using alpaca lace from knit picks. I am happy to say I have already calculated my circles and even did a gauge swatch.
20 stitches over 3 inches.
So a 3 inch circle requires 48 stitches. Pi r squared - oh how I love math.
My 4 inch circles will require 84 hairpin stitches.
My 2 inch circles will require 21 hairpin stitches.
