Diagrams for Bobbin Lace

Tesselace to GroundForge: Algorithmically designed lace tessellations

Hexagon holes

The grounds that appear in the TesseLace index are the result of research by Veronika Irvine and were generated using a mathematical model. Some of these grounds are familiar, traditional grounds. Others have not been found in known catalogues and are likely new.

In the following tables,

  • click on the image to see thread and pair diagrams in GroundForge,
  • click on txt to download a template file for use with the bobbin lace plugins for Inkscape,
  • click on svg to move intersection positions around.

Families of patterns are variations of the same pattern with modified pin positions. Note: Currently, GroundForge does not support pin positions therefore the thread diagrams for all members of a family look the same.
