Description:
Pattern:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace. This pattern is based on pattern 8, but only uses part of it. You could substitute other parts into this pattern if you prefer.
See cross, starting from middle for different ways to make this shape. You can work each arm separately, joining each arm to the previous. If you prefer taking the threads across the centre, the following diagram shows where the threads start.
The red numbers are for the bottom arm, and also provide half of the pairs for the middle arms. The blue numbers are for the top arm, and also provide the other half of the pairs for the middle arms. If you wind these all as bobbins, it will need 36 pairs.
