Shabby Chic Lace Edging Trim, Free Crochet Pattern




Hello Crochet Friends, 

Today I'd like to share a simple pattern for a lace edging or trim, which can be used for many different projects.

For example, it can be sewed onto pillow cases, flat sheets, towels, etc. It can be used to decorate the shelves of a shabby chic hutch or it can be made into a bookmark. There are so many possibilities!  




I really like the romantic shabby chic look of this edging. 

The tiny daisies in the photos grow on my front lawn. It's so nice to see the signs of spring everywhere around.

  2. Many thanks for this lovely pattern, Olga! It's sweet and very beautiful ♥, and so versatile. I could imagine it would look very nice as a scarf, too! I love daisies as well. When I was a little child, I run around the house, picked daisies and daisies and shouted out happily "Bümpe, Bümpe!" That was my children's speech for "Blümchen" (little flowers) :-). Nice memories and I love those simple little beauties still today. Have a wonderful week! Nata xxx

  9. Is it possible for you to name each of the 22 chain? I named them from A to V but my lace still looks weird after 3 tries...
