For those who don't know, Chrysanthemum lace is one of the
three forms of Bruges Flower tape Lace: the regular type, the much
finer one
called fin fleurie, and this Chrysanthemum type. Similar forms of the
lace
are made in other Buropean countries as well.
You will also recognize that most of the Belgian swan patterns are
made of
this type of lace. It features a number of curved tapes or feathers
that
emanate from a small off-centred oval shape to form a sort of Chrysanthemum
shape of flower. The lace is normally made with 6-8 pairs of
80/2 linen
thread. One side of each tape is made of ordinary cloth stitch;
at the outer
end, the pairs pivot around a central pin and begin to form a pattern
of
either broken spiders or half stitch. When all the feathers or tapes
are
completed, they are joined here and there with plaits and picots.
It's an interesting lace to make, and relatively fast to finish.
The Lace
Museum's Cathy Belleville teaches this lace, and at one time, produced
a
booklet of patterns which is now out of print.
The new Kant magazine has a Chrysanthemum pattern in it.
