Description:

Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.

This was designed after the angel patterns, pattern 115 and pattern 116. Those angels were designed on a circular grid. What would happen if an angel was drawn on a conventional Torchon grid? This is the result - angels with half folded wings.
