Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
Please read the description of pattern 153 - the comments are relevant to this pattern as well.
This is a more complicated Celtic knot. There is two strands made of half stitch which goes through each knot. Then there are two other strands looped round it in cloth stitch. Of course, you could make the whole thing in cloth stitch or half stitch, or swap the half stitch and cloth stitch round. If you use both stitches, don't get them muddled up!
