Description:

Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.

This is one of several similar patterns. The flowers have alternate half stitch and cloth stitch centres. Rather than gimps, there are pairs (so I could have the colours I wanted!).

I have made the flower to have a half stitch centre. You can have a cloth stitch centre if you prefer.

Close up of the lace, so you can see the working in more detail.
