Bobbin lace: grids and patterns

by jo.pol
Bobbin lace patterns free downloads

A collection of plug-ins primarily intended for designers of bobbin lace patterns. The plug-ins draw various types of printable grids of dots or pair diagrams. For non lace makers: pair diagrams are two-in-two-out digraphs.

Some tools have a BSD license, others a GPLv3.

An older release of the plugins (for a pre 1.0 version of InkScape) has a 5th plug-in, it complements an interactive online tool. This tool is replaced by https://d-bl.github.io/GroundForge/tiles

The tool generates thread diagrams from pair diagrams. The new tool groups the segments of a line and doesn't need the 5th plugin any more.

Braided/Plaited lace lessons
*
Lesson 1 braid-plait-1 At the original size the pattern uses DMC or Anchor Cordonnet 40, pearl 12, Bockens linen 35/2.
It requires 6 pairs = 12 bobbins. They do not need to be wound in pairs.
Braids/platis, windmill join, picots
lesson 2 lepompe2b3 Print at 125%. It should be 180 mm long. At that size use DMC or Anchor Cordonnet 60, Bockens linen 50/2, Moravia linen 40/2, Fresia linen 60/2.
It requires 12 pairs of bobbins, wound in pairs.
This is from LePompe II 1562, reprinted in 1879. Available online at:

Hang on in pairs.

Lesson 3
Pattern is from Handleiding voor Vrouwelijke Handwerken #11 (Instructions for Women's Handwork), A. W. Sijthoff, Leiden, the file is hw11.pdf .
Find it at http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books.html
This is in the 1st part of the list, with no authors listed.
I designed the corner.
I enlarged the pattern to 125% and used a 60/2 weaving linen and Moravia linen 40/2. Cordonnet crochet cotton #60 or Bockens linen 50/2 would also fit that size.
The original should should work with #80 tatting cotton.
Hang on in pairs, sew out at the end, connect braid/plait to footside.
Lesson 4 I enlarged it to 150% of the original size and used 40/2 weaving linen. Bockens linen 35/2, DMC Cordonnet #40, or pearl cotton #12 would be comparable in size.
12 pairs of bobbins, or 24 singles.
This is from LePompe II 1562, reprinted in 1879. This one and the LePompe2b3 pattern, above, are available online at:

Use the same pin 3 times. (A technique often used in Cluny)

Lesson 5
Tallies
braid, sq tally braid, leaf tally
Tallies: square and leaf shaped.
Lesson 6 lace65 Crossing 3 braids, use pin twice (at corner). Pattern by Lorelei Halley.
Lesson 7 Uses techniques from lessons 3 and 6, adds cloth and half stitch spot, and kiss stitch.
Easy PatternsUsing What You Have Learned
circle

6 pairs, wound in pairs. In the colored parts each line represents 1 pair. Refer to the international color code for the stitches: purple = cloth stitch, green = half stitch, red = doublestitch TCTC. Light blue = braid/plait. Yellow = tally (rectangular tally). For full size pattern try pearl cotton #5.
On the full size pattern I used DMC Brilliant Crochet Cotton, article 981. I don't think they make it any more. It is comparable in size to pearl 5 cotton or cordonnet #10.
I also worked the full size pattern in 20/2 linen, which is similar in size to cordonnet #20. I liked it much better in 20/2. The design was clearer.
For Cordonnet #30 reduce to 71%..
Reduce to 63% if you want to use # 40 Cordonnet or Pearl 12.

Reduce to 41% and try tatting cotton #80. It could then decorate a pincushion. Just sew it onto the top of the pincushion.
The basic elements: cloth stitch, half stitch, double stitch, braids, picots, tallies.
Square3
Square 3

For practicing different edge stitches.
10 pairs, wound in pairs. For full size pattern try pearl cotton #5.
Reduce to 50% and try tatting cotton #80.
Use it as an edging for a pincushion, or sew it onto the top of one.
mm1 mm1 Print the pattern at 70%. It should be 168 mm long. At that size use DMC or Anchor Cordonnet 60, Bockens linen 50/2, Moravia linen 40/2, Fresia linen 60/2.
It requires 24 bobbins, not wound in pairs.
This was printed in Mincoff & Marriage, 1907. But they got it from LePompe 1559.
Same elements as lesson 1.
Braid lace Basic A Basic AOriginal size 68mm. I used Fawcett's 40/2 linen. Bockens linen 35/2 is similar, as is Fresia 40/2. Also comparable are cordonnet crochet cotton #40 or pearl cotton 12.
