latticed chives
From the images you gave - very often used for a tart.
Only use if there are lots of chives. For just 2 strands why not just say criss-crossed or crossed chives?

Thank you, Gayle. A case of "criss-crossed" wires?

I have seen it used in recipes, the same as the French references that you gave.

: Absolutely... and if, like me, you wear beard and moustache, you normally end up carrying one or two of those things around for half a day...! :-)) That's why I always snip them with scissors!!!// Of course, YOU would not...

lozenge
I think this probably supports Gayle's answer. I found this in the Grand Dictionnaire (it refers to the planting of trees but the idea still seems to be criss-cross or lozenge between the criss crosses?):

: I think 'chive lozenges' would sound too much like some kind of medicinal thing!
