Irish Lace is traditionally worked in fine thread with a very small hook. This beautiful craft was originally developed in 19th century Ireland as a method of imitating expensive Venetian point laces.
Individual motifs were made and pinned to a pattern printed on fabric. They were then joined together using a filling stitch or "ground".
These Ponchos are worked using yarn and a larger hook. The motifs used, although based on traditional patterns, have been altered to accommodate today's style of crochet.
