To mesh or not to mesh 11, combining large and standard eyelets

To mesh or not to mesh 10: more large eyelet variations provides a review of information in some of my previous posts, and links to information to achieve the combinations shared by others.
The direction of transfers is marked in many of my charts with cyan cells for transfers to the left, and magenta for those to the right.
In these knits, large eyelets are created by side-by-side transfers.
Two empty needles in standard transfer lace may indicate an error, or that the repeat needs to be mirrored, while here, if in testing these patterns, only single stitch eyelets are produced, they indicate the same.
The transfers resulting in side-by-side needles on which loops will form with the next knit carriage pass are circled. The next group of transfer selections will anchor the side-by-side loops.
The repeats mentioned as used on the 930 may need horizontal mirroring, depending on the machine model or the download software.
The 32X24 design produces a vertical column of small eyelets on a field of larger ones.  The eyelet placements are planned this way, but the full repeat, 32X24, needed mirroring horizontally for use on the 930The work on the machine: after the side-by-side transfer in opposite directions is made, there will be a loop on each empty needle hook. The usual second pass with the knit carriage repeats the loop formation, and the first pair of loops is dropped. The choice can be made to keep the dropped loops, forming visual ladders, or to lift them onto the hooks so that when they are secured by the next pair of transfers, the edges of the eyelets form cleaner rounds.
Here, the dropped loops are undisturbed.
A potential troublesome spot is those loops getting hung up on gate pegs, so a light color is useful when first experimenting. As the return to transfers is made, the transferred stitches will anchor down the side-by-side loops as new double transfers are executed.   Vertical columns formed by small eyelets on a large eyelet ground, mirrored for use on 930 to this 32X24. Vertical column formed by large eyelets on a chevron ground, for knit side borders of any size, cast on a larger number of needles than in the width of your programmed lace repeat, here a 24X32 repeat is centered on 32 stitches, as used on the 930. Creating shapes: in Seasonal knits inspired by published repeats 2_hearts, 36X88,  used a combination of large mesh and single transfers to create the heart shape.
