I think almost any celtic knot design could be converted quite easily
into milanese or other tape laces - just by tracing the outlines of the
knot and adding pinholes at an appropriate spacing, then work whatever
braids & fillings feel right for the width/shape of your knot sections...
I'm sure there are embroiderer's pattern source books or children's
colouring books on the celtic theme would have plenty of outline
drawings to start the design process off.
Or draw your own knot and make a pricking of it, maybe basing it on a
knot in something you've seen in a postcard or photo or while visiting
an historic site?

for a dear friend I would like to make bobbin lace in celtic knots pattern. I
have seen this
some years ago on the "Deutsche Klöppelkongress" (the annual German bobbin lace
congress). I have consulted the internet, but can't find any pattern for
this.-----
There's a design I've long wanted to do. It's actually a cross stitch pattern
in Ulrike Voelker's (then Lohr) box of dragon designs. I think it would work
up wonderfully in a Russian-style tape--it's of several snakes intertwined.
Each one a different color (or all of them white with different color center
gimp).
