Handkerchief of batiste with openwork hems and finished around with a strip of needle lace. Along the edges of the handkerchief a triple straight frame is made with three narrow lines of open sewing: work with drawn threads. The strip of needle lace has a pattern of flowers placed next to each other in one row with different shapes, including flowers with two large and two small lobes and flowers with a central petal in the shape of a nightcap. The flower hearts of all flowers are made with a circular cord. The flower petals are made with buttonhole stitches and provided with contour lines. The flowers are connected by picoted spiles. In the flower petals cutouts and decorative grounds are applied. The straight outsides are finished with radar picots.
