Bobbin Lace patterns - Hexagonal and pentagonal mats

A hexagonal or pentagonal mat is a piece of lace worked in a specific way, a sixth (or a fifth) at a time. It needs to be a large piece for a proper mat. Small pieces are just decorations. However, they are made in exactly the same way, so I am putting them all together.
