From Beyer's Frivolite, a free download from the Antique Pattern Library. Publication date uncertain but probably early 20's. Stiffly starched, it would make a pretty Christmas ornament, either plain or with the addition of chrystal beads or tiny ribbons. EDITED TO ADD: or, as blogfriend Sam pointed out, adorning a glass bauble.
I don't read or speak Dutch, but this is my translation:
Center - 5 rings of 8 ds/P/8ds. Cut thread.
First and only round:
Oval Ring of 8ds (join in the first picot of the center ring) 8ds, close. Leave a short length of thread.
Large Ring of 8-3-3-3-3-3-3-36, close ring. Leave a short length of thread.
Small Ring of 4 (join to first picot of Large Ring) 6-4, close. Leave a short length of thread.
Another ring of 8 (join to same picot in center ring as first oval ring) 8, close.
Repeat this series 9 times, joining the last Small Ring to the first Large Ring.
