Description

From the book: " The diagonal line is typical of a number of Spanish lace patterns (see Madeira Diamond Stitch and Diagonal Madeira Lace) but these patterns differ considerably from one another. They are both beautiful and strikingly novel. An insertion of a diagonal lace stitch up the front of a blouse or dress is very pretty and perhaps even more appealing than an entire garment done in the same pattern."
