It’s a fascinating film clip. The pattern she’s making is in Geraldine Stott’s Bobbin Lace Manual where she says “ This old Bedfordshire pattern is meant to represent the meandering River Ouse at Bedford , with the many waterlilies that lie on the river there.” It also appears in Pamela Nottingham’s Technique of Bobbin Lace (original edition) where it is called Bedfordshire spider pattern. In both of them half stitch is used for the ‘spider/waterlily’ while I think the film shows cloth stitch. Jean in Glasgow where we’ve had a sunny Bank Holiday Monday
