The stitch pattern consists of lace strips. The strips connect to each other across slip stitch.

First strip: work 15 ch, join chains to ring by sl/st.

* Work in ring next stitches: 2dc/sc, 4 ch, 2 dc/sc, 4ch, 4 dc/sc, 4 ch, 2 dc/sc.

Turn, work 10 ch and 1dc/sc in second dc/sc from group of 4 ch, turn. Rep from *, until you have reached your desired length.

For last ring work in space of 10 ch: 7 times - 2 dc/sc + 4ch and 1 time 2 dc/sc at the end.

Continue work in each space of 10 ch: 2 times - 2 dc/sc + 4ch and 1 time 2 dc/sc at the end.

Second strip: 19 ch, make ring working sl.st in fifteenth ch from hook.

* Work in ring next stitches: 2dc/sc, 2 ch, connection, 2 dc/sc, 4ch, 4 dc/sc, 4 ch, 2 dc/sc.

Connection: release the hook from the loop, insert it in into space of 4 ch another strip then insert hook again in the loop with 2 ch.

Pull the loop through then work 2 ch (the first of 2ch will look like slip stitch).
