Lovely Decor in Filet Crochet


Book Description

Lovely Decor in Filet Crochet (Leisure Arts #5126) presents 7 designs by Susan Lowman, featuring an airy stitch she calls "Lacet." The designs portray a butterfly, cactus, house, lighthouse, Love Never Fails quote, piano, and rose. You choose the size of thread to use (10, 20, 30 or 40 weight cotton) based on the look and size you want to achieve. The finer the thread, the more delicate the look and the smaller the finished size will be. Smaller pieces are ideal for framing or to use on the fronts of scrapbooks or photo albums. Larger pieces are perfect for displaying on pillows, table toppers, and wall hangings. Have fun adding these lacy luxuries to your home! They also make excellent birthday, housewarming, secret sister, and Mother's Day gifts.

Grape and Leaf Altar Lace Filet Crochet Pattern


Book Description

Grape & Leaf Altar Lace is a beautiful filet crochet lace pattern, originally written by Minnie Hoffinger in 1920. Symbols of communion, graceful wheat motifs and grape vines surround a cross in the center. A wave-like pattern and simple scallops at the bottom complete the lace. This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today's crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won't need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms. The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch, double crochet, treble crochet, and slip stitch. This lace pattern's rows are done top to bottom. The simple scallops on the bottom are made by decreasing at the beginning of odd rows and increasing at the end of even rows.
