Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
I have used a gimp footside to reduce the total number of bobbins. If you prefer cloth footside you will need 6 pairs more and 2 gimps less.
The bees is a smaller version of the bees in pattern 69. Strictly speaking the wings are twisted hole ground rather than honeycomb, but the stitches are the same!
