Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
See pattern 375 for details of how to make the butterfly. The butterflies are spaced out with patches of honeycomb supposed to be flowers! These project above the butterflies, by taking one of the passive pairs in the headside and making it into the workers for the flower. The butterfly shouldn't have picots (although I slipped up once, see above!)
