NOTE : Row I ruffles a lot. Hence it needs simple blocking and shaping with fingers while still damp. This can be done after entire lace is tatted.
An alternate path to work the entire lace in one pass : Follow this sequence, making a few required changes when climbing out … Row I to Row V to Row II to Row III to Row IV.
Hope you enjoy tatting this vintage lace, Muskaan
