This is a translation of a lace knitting pattern in Danish found at http://www.kunststrik.dk/flacon.htm

For the sake of clarity I have added a few additional instructions regarding the edge. Also, I have corrected what appeared to be 2 errors on rows 23 and 29.

sl	= slip
psso	= pass slipped stitch over
tog	= together
yo	= yarn over
*-*	= repeat enclosed instructions till end of round

All even rows are knit plain.

Cast on 9 stitches and distribute on on stocking/double pointed needles, knit 1 round.
