This is mundillo, or lace from Panama. Click here for more patterns.
These patterns are large scale, to show where the colours go. Reduce the pattern size, if you wish. There are coloured 'blobs' at the top and bottom of the patterns, showing where which coloured pair starts where (which is very important!) I have put these at both ends, so you can work the pattern either the British way, or the other way round.
Patterns:
Bobbins: 12 pairs (8 white, 2 pink, 2 purple)

Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
This uses two colours, pink and purple. Both colours have one pair in the passives of the footside (which help to frame the lace). The other pair of each colour 'bounces off' the Winkie pin twisted footside. The green diamonds are ground diamonds rather than conventional ones. This means that there are no workers, and the pairs on one side cross to the opposite side using cloth stitch.
