lace patterns
Delicate textile motifs
Lace patterns are the decorative designs created by the arrangement of threads, holes, and stitches in lace.
Traditional patterns have names—Chantilly, Alençon, Brussels—often indicating their region of origin.
In knitting and crochet, lace patterns are stitch instructions that produce openwork fabric: She's working a leaf lace pattern for the shawl.
The term extends to any intricate, web-like design: Frost traced lace patterns on the window.
