Crochet Stole (2009)

Pattern: Made up -- body is Spider Web Lace stitch pattern (stitch #154 in Donna Kooker's "Encyclopedia of Crochet"), and the edge was started from Floral Edge, #27 (150 Crochet Trims), but modified it to triples, and then I screwed up the corners… C'est la vie ;-)

Yarn: Ellen's 1/2-Pint Farm Silk Alpaca Lace
Method: Crochet
Completed: July 7, 2009.

I think the secret to success here was using a very lightweight yarn -- crochet twines threads together, making denser rods in the lace than with knitting. Oh, and the prevalence of chain stitch. The drape is fabulous.

Finished measurements (post-blocking): 60" x 15"

	Lightweight and drapey
	Pre-blocking -- this was a travel project... and it travelled!

	More detail of stitches -- main body stitch, and the triple crochet edging.
