The sample is done in cross stitch. The original was probably filet lace or something like it--It's difficult to tell from the grayscale image. Both positive and negative options are available on the chart.

I charted this using an upright cross stitch because that is my best guess from the picture. I don't have any other evidence that it's correct.

I charted and stitched both the positive and negative of the design. There is an error on one of the stitched samples, but the chart is correct.

Update 4/26/09: This pattern has also been posted as a cross-stitch pattern here.
