Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace. You may notice that I worked some of the plaits with double picots, and some without. I was investigating which looks best.
This shows the directions of the plaits and tallies.
I made this design from an old pattern that came with an old (straw-filled) roller pillow I bought some time ago.
There is another version here and here.
