RPL = Romanian Point Lace

RPL is a combination of a crocheted cord and needle lace techniques. The great thing about RPL is that you choose the needle lace stitches to use. The pattern download contains the pattern for the basic cord. You decide the rest!

Supplies:
1 ball of crochet cotton (you will not use the entire ball)
1 tapestry or embroidery needle
Linen on which to trace the pattern
Fine point fabric marker
Basting thread

Pattern Information:
The inspiration for this design was a pink angel for breast cancer awareness (see bottom photo), but I did mine in green for mitochondrial disease awareness. Just change the color for your particular cause and you have your very own awareness angel!

Cord length: 35 inches
Finished project size: about 4 inches tall
