A two-page illustrated article by Aurelia Loveman showing step by step how a lace design was derived from an Arabic geometric hexagon pattern. Figures 1-5 move from the hexagon to polar-coordinate graph paper, then to selected lines that are softened into curves. Figures 6-8 turn the curves into a stylized flower, arrange it in a fan-shaped lace design, and show a needlepoint fan worked from it. The text is limited to figure captions and a note on earlier publication.
