One pattern, two dramatically different textures.

The right side of the fabric is a stylized version of mesh netting or basketweave . The wrong side presents an elegant diamond design with intersection points that appear wrapped.

The lace pattern begins immediately after cast-on eliminating the need for an edging as the lace works as buttonholes. For those wishing to retain maximum flexibility, using JUL Designs Pedestal Button is an excellent option.
