Beech-Leaf Lace
Pattern page 184-185. Chart fig. 191A, drawing of stitch fig. 191B.
“A feature of this design is the clever use of the Purl Stitch, arranged to form the central vein of the leaves and the central stalk.
This fabric has no background. The solid parts form a leaf, held in position by Lace stitches, so the design is no longer Lace Fabric, but Lace.“
