As promised, here are my charts for the 1871 knitted fanchon I made recently. The pattern is given here. I corrected any errors where the number of stitches didn't come out right in a row, and I altered the 72nd and 74th rows so that the 2 t.t.o. eyelets would be even on both sides of the pattern. As given, they are closer to the center on the second half than they are on the first half.

The crown:

The edgings and scarf:

In each of the charts only the even rows or the odd rows are given, depending upon which side has the lace pattern. The crown return rows are O, K remaining stitches for the first half and O, N, K remaining stitches for the second half. The same is true for the scarf. The return rows for the edgings are Sl, K remaining stitches throughout. The exception is that any time you hit a 2 t.t.o. from the previous row, it needs to be knit off as knit one, purl one.

The key for the charts is as follows:
O = Throw the thread over
N = Narrow
K = Knit
3 = Narrow double
FB = Knit front and back

I used knit two together for the narrowings and knit three together for the double narrowings. The little bows cover any wonkiness caused by joining the lace together in the end. I used #30 cotton and size 3-0 needles. Size 00 might be slightly better, but I won't make any promises. Size 5-0 are definitely too small.

I hope to see it if anyone makes this.
