Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
Honeycomb net is a new way of making a net (or ground). The individual stitches are all the same, half stitch and twist, pin, half stitch and twist. However, the pattern of stitches is rather odd. You will find that you can work one row diagonally, but the next row has two pairs worked, then drop both, and work the next two pairs. Click here for a longer explanation.
