Burano stitch
This needlelace stitch consists of groups of four and five buttonhole stitches with similar sized rectangular gaps.
The name Burano comes from an island in Venice where lace was traditionally made.
Corinne Wright has sponsored Burano Stitch on behalf of Virtual Threads, Canada.
Method
Work a row of equally spaced detached buttonhole stitches along the top edge.
Working back the other way, work two buttonholes into each of the first two loops, miss three loops and repeat to the end of the row.
Work five buttonhole stitches into each long loop of the previous row.
Work one buttonhole stitch into each loop of the group of five buttonhole stitches of the previous row; this will give you a group of four stitches.
Work four buttonhole stitches over the long loops of the two previous rows.
Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 to build up the pattern of Burano stitch.
