Silkewerk - A lace of diverse colors

A lace of diverse colors

If the loops are taken unreversed along both sides, the top and bottom layers of string will never intersect and the result will be two separate braids.

Doing this with departed loops, with one color up and the other color down, will produce two braids - one of each color.

This braid is a color variation of an open lace [4].

Take five departed loops, and place them on the following fingers:
Right hand: B and C - one color up.
Left hand: A, B, and C - the other color up

Work with the Right hand:
A takes through B and C the loop of C left unreversed.
Lower the left loops.

Work with the Left hand (in mirror image):
A takes through B and C the loop of C right unreversed.
Lower the right loops.

Repeat.

The same lace of diverse colors.
And if thou wilt make two laces together, the one of one color, the other of another, of 5 bows, of the which the half end shall be of one color, that other of another, and be the one color above, the other beneath and [sinthes?] work in the same manner as is afore said in the open lace [S4].
