The Staggered Eyelet stitch pattern produces a pretty all over eyelet pattern. The eyelets are produced by creating both a yarn over and a decrease. Working these two together creates the eyelet (or a 'hole') in the fabric and maintains the stitch count.
The simplicity of the eyelet stitch works well for feminine items (such as shawls) or baby clothes. Ribbon can be woven through a row of the eyelets to create a decorative feature or it can be used as a drawstring.
