   tally (blue)

Description:

Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.

It's not quite a crown headside, but similar.

The trails are supposed to merge, but don't! It might be better to have the passives from the trqails work across each other in cloth stitch. But this way of doing double trails looks more like the trails touching, rather than crossing.
