Description

From the book: "Marriage Lines is a simple zigzag lace pattern, originally Dutch, but popular in various forms throughout most of Europe. It is usually done in panels alternating with panels of Moss Stitch or twisted ribbing, but it may be used as an allover pattern simply by repeating the panels without a break; or, it is pleasing as a vertical border to set off some other lace pattern."
