Description

From the book: "Here is one of the most beautiful of mesh patterns, similar to Openwork Diamonds in form but having the diamonds themselves also made of openwork. Like Arrowhead Lace, to which this mesh is related, it has only two simple pattern rows. One row is repeated three times, the other twice, and then the entire pattern is alternated on the half-drop principle."
