In hand knitting, we create lace using the classic combination of "k2tog, yo," where the yarnover forms a small hole. In machine knitting, sometimes a different method for lace is used. In this variation, some needles are skipped, and the yarn tension is reduced. This results in more extensive and spaced-out stitches, mimicking the traditional lace pattern and adding variety. I contemplated for a long time how to apply this method in hand knitting and couldn't think of anything else but to increase the needle size significantly. If the yarn remains the same and we double the needle size, the stitches stretch and become noticeably larger. All that's left is to adjust the gauge and the correct number of stitches. Now, when you add traditional yarnovers to this new lace, it takes on a mesmerizing look.
