Lace Pall

This braid is a color variation of the previous "Lace ray" [t54]. They both combine two different single worker braids, with with one person working "A brod lace party" [t23] and the other "An open lace" [t21].


Seat a partner on your right side.

Take fourteen departed loops in two colors, and place them on the following fingers:
Outer hands: Two on A, two on B, one on C
Inner hands: B C

Arrange one color up on your hands, and the opposite color up on your partner's hands.


Exchange loops on your inner hands:
Your A goes through B from within outward, and takes your partner's B unreversed.
Partner's A takes your B unreversed.
Lower A to B.

Repeat the exchange (twice total) so you each have your own color back again.

Work with the inner hands:
A goes through B C inner, and takes the front loop on B outer unreversed.
B takes the front loop on A outer unreversed.
A goes through the front loop on B inner, and takes the loop on C outer unreversed.
Lower the outer loops.

You: Give the loop on A outer a full 360° turn.

Work with the outer hands:
A goes through B C outer, and takes the front loop on B inner unreversed.
B takes the front loop on A inner unreversed.
A goes through the front loop of B outer, and takes the loop on C inner unreversed.
Lower the inner loops.

Repeat from the beginning.
