Method
Crochet three lace motifs separately, block them firmly, then edge each motif in blue. Stack them on a central chain spine and twist the lower motifs in alternating directions before tacking them in place.
Formation / Construction Plan
1. Make one round floral medallion.
2. Make two diamond motifs.
3. Add blue edging to all pieces.
4. Block until the lace is flat and crisp.
5. Create a center spine and attach the motifs vertically.
6. Twist and tack the lower motifs for a spiral effect.

Top Round Medallion
7. With white, Rnd 1: 12 dc in MR. Join.
8. Rnd 2: Ch 4, *dc in next st, ch 1* around. Join to 3rd ch of starting ch. 12 dc and 12 ch-1 sps.
9. Rnd 3: Sl st into next ch-1 sp. *Sc in sp, ch 5, sc in next sp* around. Join. 12 loops.
10. Rnd 4: In each ch-5 loop work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc). Join and FO.
11. Join blue at any valley between petals. *Sc in valley, ch 5, sc at petal tip, ch 5* around. Join.
12. Final blue round: In each ch-5 sp work (sc, 5 dc, sc). Join and FO.
Diamond Motif – Make 2
13. With white, Rnd 1: Ch 4, join to ring. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, *3 dc, ch 3* three more times. Join. Four corners formed.
14. Rnd 2: Sl st to corner. Ch 3, (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in same corner; ch 2, *(3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next corner, ch 2* around. Join.
15. Rnd 3: Sl st to corner. In each corner work (sc, ch 5, sc). Along each side work ch 3, sc in side ch-2 sp, ch 3 before the next corner. Join and FO.
16. Join blue in any corner loop. Work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in each corner loop and 3 sc in each side loop. FO.
Central Spine
17. With blue, ch 85 and sl st back through each chain for a firm cord.
18. Leave long tails at both ends. Optional: thread a pearl or crystal bead onto the upper end.
Assembly and Finishing
19. Block all motifs under light tension and allow them to dry completely.
20. Sew the top medallion to the spine at its top and bottom center points.
21. Position the first diamond below the medallion with a small gap and sew its top and bottom points to the spine.
22. Place the second diamond below the first and attach in the same way.
23. Rotate the first diamond slightly clockwise and the second slightly counter-clockwise. Tack one side edge of each motif to the spine to preserve the twist.
24. Finish the upper spine as a hanging loop and weave in all ends neatly
