In response to the query - there is no crossing but a twisted worker pair
going from one inside point of the central petal to the opposite one as you
go and coming back the same way. On the way back on the exposed parts of the
twisted pair a false plait is made. Both twisted pairs pass through the
central bead there and back so the central bead has to be large enough to
accommodate all these threads. To finish off - the tassel with beads is
worked separately and attached to the central bead.
Please note - all inside connections of the flower are worked as you go with
a twisted worker pair being sewn into the opposite side loop coming back
doing a false plait to merge the two together creating a pleasing look.
Alternatively, you can always finish the center part off with needle and
thread if you wish to avoid the bulk inside the bead or have a smaller bead.
Trust this helps,

Subject: [lace] IDRIA Lace 5-Way Join through one bead, and hanging beads
One of our most talented bobbin lace makers here in Maine contacted me
early this morning with a technical question that I cannot answer. But,
someone on Arachne can! I told her we might get a speedy response because
in Europe it is already afternoon. I requested a description of the
pattern Vi is using. Vi does know how to do this maneuver with a 4-petal
flower.
Details follow:
I have all the Idrija books that are available as well as instructions from
two Idrija classes with Allie Marguccio, but there is no instruction on
this particular situation.
This is a pattern for a 5-petal flower with a bead in the center and three
beads hanging below the flower, attached to the flower. It was purchased
from www.lacepatterns.eu (PAPRO). The designer is Irma Pervanja, and the
pattern was on a loose sheet of paper. The design number is st. 132202, 5
cm. I have all the Idrija Lace books available to the U.S. And none of the
Idrija Lace books include a 5-way join through the center of a bead. I
have done lots of Idrija Lace jewelry and never came across this puzzle
before.
Also, how should the three hanging beads below the flower be done?
Thank you for any help on this lace issue!
