Handkerchiefs for Mother’s Day

handkerchiefs with lace

Last year I bought a bunch of new handkerchiefs at a small local shop that was going out of business. And now I enjoy adorning them with lace edgings.

The hankies were quite pretty on their own, but the crocheted edgings added a special romantic charm! I wasn’t very creative and just used the same edging pattern that I used before.

I think a pretty and feminine handkerchief could make a lovely Mother’s Day present! I am going to keep one of these hankies to give my mom on Mother’s Day, and I am going to put the other ones in my Etsy shop.

And I am now searching for other simple Mother’s Day crochet presents to make. Any ideas?

  12. Oh, your edging came out great, it really dresses up the handkerchiefs! Beautiful. Of course I would recommend you make one of those crocheted hot pads from my post. Thanks so much for stopping by, Laura
