Square-grid pattern, 68 × 68 cells, made on Chromattice.
Swedish lace: huck-like lace in two blocks, the units of a block parted by one end of the opposite tabby. That end makes the little window between units. Block A 1-2-1-2-1, block B 4-3-4-3-4, three units each, a 4 between A's units and a 1 between B's. Shafts 1 and 4 are the tabbies, 2 and 3 the pattern. Rising, weft floats on top: treadles 1-3, 4, 1, 2-4. A is treadled 1,2,1,2,1 with 4 between units, B 4,3,4,3,4 with 1 between. Sett: "as for huck, the basic sett is that for plain weave" (Marcy Petrini). 20/2 linen at 20 ends an inch, the bottom of Schacht's 20-24 for tabby, and 20 picks. Tip: at a change of block, leave out the parting end. Threading checked against Gist Yarn's lace series; the rest after Marcy Petrini's Block-Aid sheet (A treadled 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 4 on her sinking loom; this is the rising version): https://www.marcypetrini.com/images/Block-Aid/Swedish%20Lace.pdf and https://schachtspindle.com/pages/sett-chart
