Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
These are small butterflies with twisted hole ground in their wings. This is exactly the same stitch as honeycomb, but not in the honeycomb pattern. It would be possible to make the wings as honeycomb, in fact, but I wanted to make them different to the flowers.
