Row 1: SC in both loops.

Stitch Pattern Details for Panels (3 panels total):

Repeat rows 2, 3.
Total 54 pattern repeats.

Panel Sides:
Per Pattern.

References:
I used the foundation row approach and general technique from this YouTube video tutorial:
Crochet Tutorial: How to Make the Peacock Eye or Broomstick Lace Stitch, Part One by CraigLoves2Crochet.

I’m using Russian join to connect/join skeins.
