About this work

Strip of natural-colored needle lace: reticella. The upper side of the pattern consists of squares built from four smaller squares. Alternating in the squares are a small and a large circle. Around the small circle, flowers in the corners. Around the large circle, leaves in the corners. This pattern shifts and repeats on the lower side of the strip, though the squares here are rounded on the side and bottom to semi-circular deep shells. The shell edge is finished with picots. The upper side of the strip is finished with a crocheted narrow border with squares.
