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″
