Pattern 518 - Leaves

This pattern uses a grid at 60°, but the wrong way round! So it produces long thin shapes rather than fatter ones.

Description:

Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.

I used Bucks Point net, which produced rather a weak result. It might be better to use double Torchon ground. Also the footside passive is only a single pair (this was a mistake!) I added extra pairs in a different green as workers for the leaves.

Close up of the lace, so you can see the working in more detail.
