Tall Ship Lace Filet Crochet Pattern: Complete Instructions and Chart - Paperback

by Carolyn Waite (Author), Claudia Botterweg (Author)

Seagulls play over this old fashioned ship amid ocean waves in this filet crochet pattern originally designed as a tray insert in 1927 by Carolyn Waite. Add thread rigging to the masts and banners, and you'll have a picture ready to frame. Or use a lightweight yarn and gift it as an afghan to your favorite seafaring matey. 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 and double crochet.
