twist single pair
Details:
cloth stitch triangle (red)
vertical edge (red)

Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace. The footside by the half stitch ground means that there is an extra pair of bobbins which are taken into the cloth stitch triangle.
The start is along a diagonal, so one pair starts at each pin, and two at the edge. Above, I have marked the position of the false pins.
