Description:

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

The zigzag is made up of cloth and half stitch strips. There is no problem moving from one to the other stitch. One row is done with one stitch, the next row is done with the other! The change in stitch gives a kind of 3-D effect to the zigzag which is rather attractive.
