About this pattern
Vespertilio is the Latin word for a bat, most likely from vesper, “evening”: the bat is the one that comes out at dusk. The mask is a heart: the bats have solid bodies and lace wings, and a tiny heart floats above their kiss.
It is the most challenging of the three. You work flat from the point of the heart up, and from row 7 to the kiss in two halves side by side, with meshes added at both ends of a row. A picot edging and four chain ties finish it.
This is a beta pattern: the chart and the row-by-row text have been checked against each other, but the mask hasn't been made yet. If anything needs fixing, the corrected version reaches you for free through your download link. The matching Vespertilio bookmark pattern comes free with the mask.
