The black border marks out the edges, and the red border divides the two repeats, which are shown to give a better view of the lace pattern. Work the right edge stitches, then work the 8 repeat stitches until there are only enough stitches to work the left edge stitches. The rows where the stitch markers are moved out to add another repeat are marked in red.
