Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
There were various things that I didn't like about pattern 182, so here I am trying to correct them. I have made the gimp red so it will show up well. The original pattern had twelve petals. My first attempt had ten petals, so the 'stalk' of the flower could be half way along and the whole flower symmetrical. This pattern has eleven, and one petal missed out altogether. The trail and the line of holes along the two edges have been replaced with with cloth stitch triangles at the edges to highlight the flowers, although they are not quite triangles. For the rest of the pattern, I have marked where the different threads go. The middle of the flowers is Kat ground, and the petals are honeycomb. There are two gimps. The pattern is slightly assymetric, and you need to be careful when the two gimps cross over. One pair of threads goes from the point of one triangle to the other across the gimps.
