This was designed while I was attempting to reproduce the needlepoint style punto in aria. This is perhaps one of the less convincing attempts! The pattern is quite pretty, though.
Pattern:
Bobbins: 14 pairs
Style: Torchon (experimental)
Stitches:
half stitch
cloth stitch and twist
Details:
French fan (pink and grey)
Torchon ground (grey)
double Torchon ground (yellow)
rose ground (green)
footside with no passives (grey)
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
The headside is slightly different to the ones shown here, but I think you can follow the principle. All stitches in this headside are cloth stitch and twist.
You may care to amuse yourself by looking at the photo to spot the mistakes and changes I made! There is one missed cross-over in the rose ground, and several mistakes (or was it changes of mind?) near the footside. Between the headside and the rose ground, I seem to have changed from Torchon ground to double Torchon ground halfway through the lace as well. I hope this shows you that it is possible to make mistakes which are less noticeable to other people. Of course, you shouldn't make mistakes....
