Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
There are two pairs at the edge. Apart from the triangles, work these as plaits. Within the triangles, they are merely passives.
I started and finished the lacethe lace by taking both dark green pair as workers, and doing cloth stitch and twist across all other pairs, outwards.
