Clockwork Dreams is a Steampunk inspired version of dreamcatcher to chase away those animatronic nightmares and garrulous automatons full of gears.
Optional charms and lace makes this a perfect project to explore your creative use of embellishments that fit both budget and availability. Most items used are readily found in craft stores.
Anemoia (nostalgia for a time one has never actually lived in) for the Victorian steam powered age gives this wall decoration a spot in any fan of steampunk’s home.
Pictures are included in the pattern to make it easier to understand some of the trickier parts.
Short rows are used to form wedges that create the dreamcatcher lace center. This pattern uses the simple turn and work back method, but it will work with many other short row methods as well.
Choices of lace trim or not are shown in pictures in the pattern, another option is to simply use pins to attach the lace trim for versatile display.
