Instructions

Must have patience! The pattern didn't call for a pendant but the one I used in mine looked so beautiful. I used a dot of tacky glue to secure the small flowers. The leaves and roses I stitched on.

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Romantic, Retro / Vintage


Materials

#10 Crochet cotton in white, Size 7/1.65mm crochet hook, pendant of your choice (optional)

What was your inspiration?

I was looking for something I could make for my future daughter-in-law for her wedding. As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be absolutely stunning with her dress!

What are you most proud of?

I am happy with the fact that I had the patience to complete this project in 2 weeks!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

If you use and iron to press it when it is completed, be carefull you don't scorch it. I almost did!

Stunning! Irish crochet takes so much effort, but when completed nothing compares, IMO.

I'm in AWE! This is absolutely beautiful! I crochet, but I tend to get frustrated with crochet thread and small hooks so I tend to stay away from projects like this. But I want this!! I may have to get over my frustrations and give it a try. I have to show this to my daughter she will love it. Thank you for sharing.
