Silkewerk - A lace for hats of 2 fellows

A lace for hats of 2 fellows

Worked alone, without the exchanging move, this is A lace common round [3]. Three of these round braids can be joined side by side, making A lace for hats of 3 fellows [41].

At first glance, A thick lace bordered [10] appears to be a color variation of this braid, but there the outer edges aren't connected and here they are. I can't help wondering why this would be necessary, but perhaps there's some color-design potential there I haven't explored yet.

Seat Your Fellow on Your right side.

Take ten loops, and place them on the following fingers:
Outer hands: A B C
Inner hands: B C

Work your own braids:

Inner hands:
A takes through B C inner, the loop of C outer reversed.
Lower the outer loops.

Outer hands (in mirror image):
A takes through B C outer, the loop of C inner reversed.
Lower the inner loops.

Exchange loops on your inner hands:

You:
With A, enter B of the same hand from within outward and take Your Fellow's B unreversed.

Your Fellow:
Takes with his A, Your loop B unreversed.

Both:
Lower A to B.

Exchange loops on your outer hands:

Put Your A loop over and around Your Fellow's A, taking his A loop back in exchange unreversed.

Repeat from the beginning.
