Lace pattern “HEARTSTRING”: filet crochet edging, vintage style beauty, US terms.

Following this pattern you’ll be able to crochet a beautiful lace border with U-shaped edge and motives of hearts.
I’ve designed and crocheted this model in about 1989, repeated again in 2023.
Decorate your curtains, sew two pieces to your towel or a bedspread ends, add the charming skirt hem…

PLEASE, NOTE that by buying this product you are not getting a lace, but a 1 PDF file: there you will find a written pattern instruction (with abbreviations) and two detailed crochet diagram drawings (showing all stitches of the lace and of an extra edging row with picots).
All pages are ready to print on an A4 size of paper.

Calculated dimension of the one motive HSL: width x length - 5.5 x 5.7 cm (2 11/64 x 2 1/4 in).
