Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
The start is along a diagonal (although it looks horizontal above!), so one pair starts at each pin, and two at the edge. Above, I have marked the position of the false pins.

This pattern is all in one colour. Unfortunately, with Celtic knots, you cannot carry the coloured workers from one piece to the next. Most annoying!
