This is a Bucks Point simple pattern to fit inside a pen. See pen decoration. I'm afraid that I forgot to take a photo before sewing it onto the pen!
Pattern:
Bobbins: 12 pairs + 2 pairs for gimp (different colours)
Style: Bucks Point
Stitches:
half stitch and twist
cloth stitch
twist
gimp
Details:
Bucks Point net (grey)
honeycomb (green)
cloth diamond (red)
flower
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace. I made the gimp into a pair rather than a thicker thread, since I was worried whether a thicker thread would fit inside the pen. (It probably would!) Since the gimp is a pair, I worked it in cloth stitch across other pairs rather than the normal gimp stitch.
