crochet lace with noro yarn

Noro is such a knitters yarn isn't it, I've always wanted to try it with crochet and so for this tutorial I try out a pretty triangle lace stitch.  It's quite an easy one, with a four row repeat and looks fabulous, would be great for a pretty blanket, or a border and I think it looks marvellous with this funky green noro.

The pattern is from New Directions in Crochet from Anne Rabun Ough (I love her) and it goes a little something like this.

Pattern
