Conclusion

Pattern Corrections
- If thread splits or is difficult, substitute with a higher-quality cotton or alternative smooth thread.
- If the motif ruffles too much, do fewer chain sts in lace rounds, or use a smaller hook.
Tips
- For best structure, block your finished heart shaped motif.
- Line with fabric to keep herbs or soap from touching the lace.
- For more fullness, repeat the lacy rounds as desired.
- Adjust the size by changing thread/needle or the number of chain stitches in the borders.
