Charted Diamond Lace
Click for fullsize, printable chart.
I charted this lace pattern for two reasons. When I started the front pieces, I noticed that the written instructions for the Cropped Cardigan pattern (Leisure Arts Booklet #75003) did not seem to mirror the lace panels. I felt the cardi would look better overall if the lace patterning was mirrored. Making a chart made it very easy to understand that the pattern mirrors itself halfway through the repeat! I also needed this chart lace poem (and parts of the process) as visual aids in my entry for The Amazing Lace Challenge #3.
