Crochet stitches come in all shapes and sizes. Some crocheters prefer dense and structural stitches, and others love lacy and delicate designs. The stitch basically IS the character of the thing you make, so a designer must use it wisely. It’s also very important to choose the right yarn – and by it, we mean the gauge. Today’s collection is very on-trend and brings some fresh ideas for the season. Crochet Lace Stitches are full of blooming flowers, leaves, and openwork. These recommendations are great for lacy summer kimonos or cardigans, delicate blankets or bedspreads, or summer dresses, of course! Use the lace in whatever project you like, because these patterns are for stitches, not the garments themselves. Try it, and you will surely love it! Check out these free patterns under the links below and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook Fanpage and Pinterest for more creative ideas!
