Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
The start is along a horizontal, so two pair starts at each pin. There are pinholes at each edge which are just for starting. Ignore them when you have worked a circle of lace, and want to reuse the holes.
I have used the same colour for the passives in the footsides as half the diamonds.
Lace being worked:
If the lace gets distorted while working it, stack the lace up in circles before hanging it up. You need to attach a hanging thread to the top outer edge.
