How to knit the lace pattern in DROPS 148-11 and 148-12

In this DROPS video we show how to knit the pretty and yet easy lace pattern used in the waist on the two popular patterns DROPS 148-11 and DROPS 148-12.

In the video the first rows are knitted and we start on the first actual pattern row in chart.
We P2 on each side of the pattern to make it easy to see how the holes will look like from RS:
3rd row = first actual pattern row (right side): P2 (edge sts), 1 yo, slip 1 st as if to K, K 2 tog, psso, 1 yo, P3, 1 yo, slip 1 st as if to K, K 2 tog, psso, 1 yo, P2 (edge sts).
4th row (in video we knit it from WS): K2 (edge sts), P3, K3, P3, K2 (edge sts).
5th row (right side): P2, K3, P3, K3, P2
6th row (WS): as row 4.
7th row (right side): knit pattern again as on row 3
The actual pattern rows are knitted on every 4th row and the other rows are knitted with K over K and P over P.
