This pattern is a modern take on a piece of vintage crochet from my Great Grandmother’s work.
A beautiful embellishment to crochet or knitted items or as a brooch or hair slide. A great stash buster, can be worked with small amounts of yarn in any weight. Just use a suitable hook to give a tight finish.
Measures approximately 12cm and uses less than 10g when worked indouble knit yarn with 3.5mm hook.
