You are allowed to copy a percentage (10% I think) of a library book
for your own personal use/study. That would surely cover you if you
borrow a lace book and make one, maybe two, patterns from it. If it's
an instruction book and you intend to work through all the
instructions from cover to cover it's likely you would want to buy the
book for yourself anyway - unless you are a very fast worker and can
get through masses of new lace techniques in the few short weeks of the
loan period.

can't make patterns from the book she checks out is like claiming she
can't read the fiction book she checks out. It doesn't make sense.
Libraries often have to pay more for books, and especially magazines,
*because* they provide the material to multiple people who won't then
pay for their own copies. I can't believe using a library book for the
purpose for which it was published is a violation of copyright.
