Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
See pattern 375 for a description about most of the features in this pattern. The difference is that the body and antennae of the butterfly is done with a gimp (rather than plaits and cloth stitch). The two gimps surrounding the butterflies are different colours as well, making the butterflies different colours. You can make them the same if you prefer.
