A lace bordered the one side
This braid combines concepts that are present in other braids, but not exactly in this form. Related braids include Lace common round [3] and An hollow lace [18].
If "Your Fellow" takes both of his loops unreversed, you'll have A thin lace bordered [8].
Seat Your Fellow on Your right side.
You: Take five loops in one color, and place them on the following fingers:
Outer hand: A B C
Inner hand: B C
Your Fellow:
Take three loops in a second color, and place them on the following fingers:
Outer hand: B
Inner hand: A B
Work your own braids:
You:
Inner hand: A takes through B C inner, the loop of C outer unreversed.
Lower the outer loops.
Outer hand: A takes through B C outer, the loop of C inner reversed.
Lower the inner loops.
Your Fellow:
Outer hand: A takes through B outer, the loop of B inner reversed.
Lower the inner loop.
Inner hand: A takes through B inner, the loop of B outer reversed.
Lower the outer loop.
Exchange loops on your inner hands twice so you each have your own color back again:
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.
Repeat from the beginning.
