Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
This compares two versions of checkerboard ground. Both are described here. I suspect that the first version is more authentic, but the second one is easier to work! The rose ground is there for comparison. Chequerboard is like rose ground, and this pattern demonstrates how it looks different.
