Doily Patterns - Finger bowl dolly of princess lace and linen lawn

Doily Patterns Princess lace, (also known as Duchesse lace) as elsewhere mentioned, results from combining Honiton and point lace braids in one design; and a charming specimen of this lovely lace is here illustrated.

The doily is pictured only a trifle smaller than its actual size, and even in its full size is a very dainty affair.

After the braids are basted along the design, they are then connected by twisted bars that are an adaptation from the point d'Aleneccedil;on bars with the twisted stitch; and the spaces are filled in in small d'Angleterre rosettes or "spiders."

As few bars as possible are employed for the spiders, in order to produce a very delicate effect. The lawn center is added last.
