I have an old International Lace Magazine, that I purchsed 2nd hand (it is
dated 1991), and is featuring Valenciennes lace.
It shows round and square ground, and the square ground diagram says : "
Made with 4 pairs: with the centre pair, make a linen stitch, and throw in 5
times" The diagram looks like Cloth st (CTC), then plaits.
On the previous page, the explanation says:
Square Mesh or Ieperse Ground: With 3 pairs: we twist the travellers in the
motif once to make 2 linen stitches through the braid (CTC,CTC): The first
pair goes to the border, the other 2 pairs form the braid, we throw in 5
times (CTx5).
I don't know if this will help - or be more confusing!!!
