Pattern notes
The lace edging is created first, as one long strip. Stitches are then picked up from the centre of the lace edge, and each row is worked outwards, picking up stitches progressively along the long edge of the lace to create an elegant curved shape. The top edge is finished with a neat stretchy bind off and the whole hap is blocked to size.
