Pattern of lace

The start is along a horizontal, so two pair starts at each pin, except at the edge, where there are 3. To get the gold curved lines, you must start the gold pairs in the right place. They are marked on the pattern in pink, to help you work the lace.

If the lace gets distorted while working it, stack the lace up in circles before hanging it up. You need to attach a hanging thread to the top outer edge.
