cloth stitch and twist
gimp (pink)
Details:
Bucks Point net (grey)
honeycomb (green)
cloth stitch solid area (red)
half stitch diamond (blue)
Winkie pin plaited footside (grey)
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace. The straight bit of the edge is a Winkie pin footside (where the pair coming in from the lace return immediately to the lace), but the passives are plaited between the pins.
The start of the lace in the photo is one pair from one edge working across all other pairs in cloth stitch and back again, to give a line as a start. You can leave this out if you want.
This pattern uses a gimp to provide the stem between the flowers and the leaves, and altered to shape of the flowers, to overcome the problems of pattern 76. I'm not convinced by the pattern though. Flowers in lace can be hard!
