making a filet crochet lace shawl over 3 months (75 hours) of work condensed to just 22 seconds! i’m in love with the result of this project. i used a pdf of a vintage pattern called “Butterfly Corners Luncheon Set” by Olive Ashcroft, sold by CBottBooks on Etsy 🦋 with filet crochet, grids made of chain and double crochet stitches create the delicate lace design. the project is worked in rows, and every row is unique! this was a birthday gift for my lovely best friend 🤍🤍 details: Aunt Lydia’s size 10 cotton crochet thread and 1.50mm hook also: i don’t have a blocking mat so i improvised using an old cardboard box which i made into a sheet. i laid out the shawl and pinned it into shape while wet. it worked surprisingly well! #crochet #filetcrochet #handmade #vintagepattern #vintageinspired #shawl #slowfashion #smallartist #feminine #femme #cottagecore #coquette
