  Step 1

  Construction
  The bottom lace of the first tail is worked, then stitches are picked up along the straight edge. The tail and side laces are worked together and left on a thread. The second tail is worked the same way, then the centre and side laces are worked onto these stitches directly. The two pieces are then grafted together.

  Step 2

  Pattern
  First tail
  With waste yarn, cast on 11 sts.
  Change to working yarn and work Rows 1–12 of the Lace Chart eleven times.

• 

  Step 3

  On the needle holding the live sts, PM, pick up and k 55 sts from the straight edge of the lace. PM, remove waste yarn from the start of the lace, and work the 11 sts from the first row of the Left Lace Chart, reading right to left.

• 

  Step 4

  Next row: Work the next row of the Left Lace Chart, SM, k to M, SM, work Row 1 of the Right Lace Chart.
  Continue working the Left and Right Lace Charts as set; at the same time, work the sts between the markers as follows:
  Work Rows 1–22 of Tail Chart 1 twice, then Rows 1–22 of Tail Chart 2 once, then Rows 1–22 of Tail Chart 1 once, then Rows 1–31 of Tail Chart 3 once. Break yarn, leaving a 150cm (60in) tail for grafting, and leave stitches on a stitch holder.

• 

  Step 5

  Second tail
  Work as for the first tail, but do not break yarn nor place stitches on a holder. Continuing across these stitches, continue working the Left and Right Lace Charts, working Rows 1–64 of the Centre Chart between the markers, three times in total. Break yarn and graft the two sections together.

  Step 6

  Finishing
  Weave in ends. Wash and dress, pinning out each scallop. When completely dry, remove pins and cut off ends.
