Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
Round the holes, you will find that a couple of stitches have pairs travelling stright dowards, rather than diagonally. Just follow the lines of the pattern!
Honeycomb is a common net in Bucks Point. Some pairs go straight down, some diagonally. This pattern introduces you to a simpler version of this idea.
