Crochet Lace Stitch: Elegant Star Flower Crochet Lace Stitch

/

Hi everyone! Today I have another crochet lace stitch to show you! This is the Star Flower Crochet Lace Stitch, and I think you will really enjoy this one.

This crochet stitch pattern is worked in just 5 rows and then you’ll repeat Rows 2-5. 

We will be working rows of V stitches and Dc2togs over a bed of chain 3 spaces. The V stitches and Dc2togs will alternate and then mirror each other in different rows. You’ll see what I mean in a sec.

Once you work the first 5 rows, you’ll start to see why this crochet lace stitch looks like a star flower! Or maybe it’s a butterfly? I’m not entirely sure, but it sure does look beautiful!

I am using size 10 crochet thread and a 1.65mm crochet hook, but feel free to use any size yarn and corresponding hook for this pattern. I just happen to love crocheting with crochet thread! 

The written instructions to this lacy crochet stitch are available below, but if you’re a visual learner, I have a Youtube tutorial on this stitch, so be sure to check it out!

Crochet Lace Square Pattern – Crosswind Lace Square

/

Hello everyone, today I have a crochet lace square pattern to share with you. This a square version of the Crosswind Lace Stitch pattern I made a while ago. It features all of the stitches in that pattern, although the pattern repeat is not 100% the same.

I loved that stitch pattern so much that I was curious to see what it would look like turned into a square shape.

Even though I designed this as a crochet lace square, I think there are a few ways you could use it!

It would look pretty as a centerpiece on a table or dresser, but it could also be used underneath a vase, candle, lamp, or other small item. 

You could even make several squares and join them together to make a larger lace tablecloth or runner. There are so many possibilities!

About This Pattern

For this crochet lace square, I used Size 10 Crochet Thread and a 1.65mm Crochet Hook. 

The thread that I chose is from Artiste in the color Antique. I picked this thread from Hobby Lobby, and I really like this line from Artiste because it comes in a TON of pretty colors and it’s reasonably priced. So that’s great if you need to make lots of lace.

After finishing the square, I blocked it using just plain water. Blocking takes a little work, but the result is totally worth it!

Blocking really helps open the lace up, giving your piece more definition and allows it to lay FLAT. 

I block my crochet lace pieces by soaking in water, gently patting the excess water out with a towel, and then pinning it to a blocking board.

If you don’t have a fancy pants blocking board, don’t worry! You can use a scrap piece of cardboard if it’s thick enough. 

I’m also making those cute X shapes with a combination of chains and a two treble crochets together. Don’t freak out if you don’t know what that means, I have step by step instructions on how to do this. 

Also, don’t forget to check out my Youtube Video tutorial on the Crosswind Lace Square, I think it’s super helpful, especially when it comes to making those X shapes!

CROCHET SKULL PATTERN – Lace of the Dead

/

Hey everyone, today I have another crochet skull pattern for you to try, The Lace of the Dead! 

This is a lacy rectangle with a skull motif right in the center. It’s very similar to my Skully Squares Stitch Pattern, but we will be working in rows and in the round.

I think this pattern is awesome, and I hope you do too. It isn’t perfectly square, I think it’s more rectangular in shape, but I bet all you creative out there can think of fun and spooky ways to use this lace!

The Lace of the Dead would look AMAZING as a spooky table runner or as curtains. You could use it in Gothic attire, like in a shawl or shirt. The possibilities are endless!

You will need to join each finished piece together. I sewed mine with the same crochet thread I used to make it. It took me some time to sew them together, but the finished product is worth it in my opinion!

I am using size 10 crochet thread for this crochet skull pattern. You can always use whatever yarn and hook floats your boat, just remember it will be a different size than mine if you do.

One row is straight mesh, and the alternate row is a unique X stitch, which I will show you how to do!

This pattern is perfect for lacy shawls, curtains, tablecloths, or just anything that needs lace! 

I am using size 10 crochet thread for this crochet lace stitch, but you don’t have to if you have another yarn or hook that you prefer! I love crocheting with thread, but I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea!

Pointed Crochet Lace Edging Pattern

Hey everyone! Today I’m sharing with you another crochet lace edging pattern; the Pointed Crochet Lace Edging!

This edging is only 8 rows in height with a chain 12 repeat for the length. 

Use this pattern for all of your edging needs! I think this would look amazing for tablecloths, but you could use it for a variety of other projects that need a little bit of a lacy flair! 

I’m using size 10 crochet thread for this, but I think a smaller thread like size 20 would look great too.

Crochet Skull Stitch – Skully Squares

/

Hey everyone, today I’m excited to share my latest creation! It’s a crochet skull stitch that I’m calling the Skully Squares!!

It took a lot of trial and error (and frogging and restarting), but I am FINALLY happy with the way Skully Squares turned out and want to teach you all how to make it!

This is a very lacy crochet pattern, with a skull motif centered in the middle of a solid square of double crochets.

I’ve created this pattern in a way that allows you to make this as big as you want. 

I typically use crochet thread to make my patterns, but you can try using different sizes of yarn if you’d like, just remember that it will be bigger than mine if you do.

As with most of my projects (especially if you use crochet thread), I highly recommend blocking your work when you’re done. It’s extra work, but it’s worth it. Your crochet projects look so much neater and lay flatter! 

Ideas for how to use this pattern:

Since this stitch pattern is very open, I think some of the strongest uses for this would be:

  • As a whole crochet lace curtain panel
  • Trim for a curtain
  • A decorative crochet table runner
  • A square centerpiece
  • Trim for a table runner
  • Crochet gothic scarf
  • Used as a border or trim for garments.

I’m sure there are plenty of other uses for this particular pattern, but these are some of the best and most obvious ones I could think of.

Repeat Rows 2-13 until desired height

Cut thread with scissors, pull thread through and weave in any loose ends.

Blocking (optional):

To make the Skully Squares absolutely flat, I would block it.

You can block crochet projects by using plain  water or a starch solution if you like them crispy.

I like to use water since I never have starch solution and I’m probably not going to make any on my own! 

To block I simply soak my projects in water for a few minutes (the water really needs to infiltrate I to those stitches). After it soaks, pull it out and gently pat out the excess water on a towel.

Take a blocking board (or just grab a thick enough piece of cardboard), and pin it into the exact shape you need it. For this one, I used a square shape.

Place your board in a safe place and allow it to dry for 24-48 hours or until it’s no longer wet.

I hope you enjoyed this crochet skull stitch pattern. I think the Skully Squares turned out really great. I’d love to see your finished work!

Crochet Lace – M Mesh Stitch

Hello everyone! Today I have another awesome crochet lace stitch to share with you all! The crochet M Mesh Stitch!

This M Mesh Stitch is awesome because it provides a super duper airy fabric, but adds interest with the way the stitches make the M shape.

I’ve actually used this stitch many times when I filet crochet. I typically use a 3DC filet method, and this stitch helps make the fabric have more negative space.

Hello everyone, today I have another crochet lace stitch pattern for you to try; The Floral Shell Lace Stitch!

I’ve actually used a variation of this pattern to make a crochet infinity veil, so that’s one project idea that you could do with this stitch!

This one is slightly different from my veil, as the way you begin and end each row has changed. However the “meat” of the pattern is the same!

I love this lace stitch, it’s fun to make the little petals on top of the shells, plus it provides the perfect amount of airflow and coverage for your fabric.

Beautiful Crochet Doily Pattern – Crosswind Lace Doily

Hello everyone, today I have a new, beautiful crochet doily pattern for you to try; The Crosswind Lace Doily!

This doily is based off of the Crosswind Lace Pattern a made a little while ago. I loved the lacy stitch pattern so much I want to try making a doily version of it.

This doily has a really pretty center, then opens up with an airy, lacy middle, and finishes with a simple round edge. The X stitches in the center and outer edge give the doily its name, plus they look really neat!

With only 19 Rounds to complete this doily, I hope you all enjoy!

Blocking The Crosswind Lace Doily:

I suggest blocking this doily once you are finished. 

To block your doily:

  • Get a bowl and fill it with water
  • Soak your doily in the water (you might have to pushed the doily down as it tends to want to float)
  • After a minute or two, place your doily on a dry towel and gently pat it to get out excess water
  • Using a blocking board or cardboard (you may need to get a mixing bowl and trace around it with a pen as a guide), pin your doily by gently stretching it into the desired shape.
  • Allow to air dry for 24-48 hours or until dry.

I hope you all enjoyed the Crosswind Lace Doily Pattern! Until next time.
