Lace Crochet Pattern Instructions
Setup Chain and Initial Ring
- Starting Chain: Chain 7 and connect them into a ring using a slip stitch.
- Starting Chain Extension: Chain 6 (note: the first 3 chains count as the first double crochet).
Round 1
- Pattern Repeat: Make a double crochet into the ring, chain 3, and double crochet into the ring again. Repeat this step until you have 8 double crochets and 8 chain-3 spaces in total.
- Closure: Chain 3 and join with a slip stitch into the third chain from the bottom of the starting 6 chains.
Round 2
Starting Chain for Round 2: Chain 4 (this counts as the first treble).
Pattern Sequence: Work 3 trebles into the next chain-3 space, chain 3, and work 4 trebles into the next chain-3 space.
Continuation and Corners Formation:
- Chain 8, work 4 trebles into the next chain-3 space.
- Repeat steps above until you have completed 2 corners.
- Chain 3, work 4 trebles into the next chain-3 space.
- Continue pattern until you have created 3 corners.
Adding a New Motif
Chain Formation for New Motif: Chain 22.
Ring Formation on New Motif: Make a slip stitch into the seventh chain from the hook to form a secondary ring.
Procedure for New Ring: Make a slip stitch into each of the next 3 chains, turn your work, chain 3, and then make double crochet into the ring.
Completion: Repeat the double crochet process until you have 8 double crochets and 8 chain-3 spaces in total, then chain 3 and join with a slip stitch. Make a slip stitch into each of the next 4 chains.
Treble Work: Turn your work and make 3 trebles into the next chain-3 space.
Connecting Motifs:
For connection, make 2 chains, drop the loop off the hook, pass the hook through the middle chain of the previously connected motif, grab the loop back onto the hook, and pull it through.
- Continue crocheting into the next chain-3 space of the second motif.
- Repeat until 2 motifs are connected.
- Continue this side until getting 3 corners in total.
Finishing
Closure for Row and Rounds: Repeat the sets as necessary until the desired number of motifs per row is achieved. For each new row, start with chaining 18 or 22.
Connecting Row Motifs: Using similar connecting steps as explained in Adding a New Motif steps, connect new motifs on top of the previous ones.
Final Adjustments: Continue crocheting rows following the same pattern until desired length is reached, ensuring all motifs are completed and sides are finished.
General Tips
- Ensure not to twist chains while joining motifs.
- Maintain loose crocheting to enhance flexibility and facilitate blocking to lay the piece flat and evenly.
