You'll need:
100 g of fingering or sport weight yarn (I use DROPS Alpaca)
3 mm / US 2.5 knitting needles (I prefer needles made of wood)
(optional) 5 stitch markers – 2 in one color, 3 in another color

Abbreviations:
st(s) – stitch(es);
RS – right side;
WS – wrong side;
k – knit;
p – purl;
yo – yarn over;
k2tog – knit 2 together;
ssk – slip, slip, knit together;

Instructions:
Cast on 41 sts using stretchier cast-on method (I use the knitted cast on).
Knit 10 rows and start with the lace pattern.

Row 1 (RS): K5, (k3, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k2) 3 times, k6.
Row 2 and all WS rows: K5, p to last 5 sts, k5.
Row 3: K5, (k2, k2tog, (k1, yo) x 2, k1, ssk, k1) 3 times, k6.
Row 5: K5, (k1, k2tog, k2, yo, k1, yo, k2, ssk) 3 times, k6.
Row 7: K5, (k1, yo, ssk, k5, k2tog, yo) 3 times, k6.
Row 9: K5, (k1, yo, k1, ssk, k3, k2tog, k1, yo) 3 times, k6.
Row 11: K5, (k1, yo, k2, ssk, k1, k2tog, k2, yo) 3 times, k6.

Repeat Row 1 to 12 as long as you’ll get the desired length.
Knit 10 rows and bind off using some stretchy bind-off method (I usually use this one).
Hide in yarn ends and block.
