The pattern is worked over a 5 row repeat.

Row 1: 2 chain, picot, 6 chain, picot, 2 chain, slip stitch to 6th stitch before the 1st picot (that is, the 13th chain of the base row). 2 chain, picot, 2 chain, picot, 2 chain and slip stitch to the 7th chain of the base row. 2 chain, picot, 5 chain and slip stitch to the 1st chain of the base row.

Turn.

Row 3: 2 chain, picot, 6 chain, picot, slip stitch to middle of 1st loop of previous row, before the picot. Next make the fan as follows: 7 chain, slip stitch to middle of 2nd loop, before picot. Turn. 1 chain, 10 treble over the 7 chain. Turn. 3 chain, 1 treble into 1st stitch of previous row, 1 chain, 1 treble into 3rd stitch, 1 chain, 1 treble into 5th stitch, 1 chain, 1 treble into 7th stitch, 1 chain, 1 treble into 9th stitch, 1 chain, 1 treble into 10th stitch (the last stitch).

Continue to repeat rows 1-5, until work measures desired length. 
(For 2nd and subsequent repeats of row 1, slip stich into the middle of the loops of the previous row, instead of the base row of chains.)

When the desired length of lace is made, work a footing row along one side of the lace made up of single trebles, separated by 3 chains. Turn. 2 chain. Into each arc of 3 chains of the previous row, work 4 double crochet, skipping over the treble columns.

On the second side of the lace, work a footing row, again of single trebles separated by 3 chains. (Aim to have a multiple of 3 arcs). Turn. 
* Into the first arc, work 4 double crochet. 
Into the 2nd arc, work 2 double crochet, picot, 2 double crochet. 
Into the 3rd arc, work 3 double crochet. Turn.
