The gimp and the cord are highlighted in yellow, see diagram. At the outer edge at the lace there are picots and at the inner lace the edge braids with 3 pairs.
Start the lace at A, the left leaf inside the flower. At the end all the pairs are assembled in a bundle, exclude the pairs in cloth stitch + twist at the left side, it is first used again when the outer flower is made, see diagram at nr. 3. One pair is used to crochet all the threads up to the top of the second leaf, see diagram nr. 2. Repeat this, then the end of the second leaf are reached and make the third leaf. At the end of the third leaf the pairs are used for the outer flower. See the diagram, where to add the gimp. Together with the gimp add one single bobbin with thread 60/2. The gimp and the single bobbin work together as a pair in cloth. At B let the pairs rest and make a small band in cloth stitch from B to C, at C end the band and remove the pairs from the small band. Then continue with the lace from B. Crochet the flower to the small band, see diagram. In this way, a nerve, highlight the structure of the flower.
