Help with Ene's Scarf Chart please

How-to Questions
1

Hi all-

I’ve knitted lace before…but from directions that are written out. I want to start Ene’s Scarf from Scarf Style and need help. I understand the chart except for the gray “no stitch” box. Does the no stitch box just account for the decreases? If someone could explain that to me it would be helpful. Do I just continue knitting across and ignore the gray boxes? I’m assuming they did that just to make the chart a nice rectangle…but it confused this beginning chart reader.

Thanks everyone!

You’ve got the ‘no stitch’ thing figured out perfectly. You just ignore it, and the only reason for it to be there is to keep the rows of the chart straight.
