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
6 clear plastic beads small enough to fit in the tip of each snowflake arm

Pattern Information:
The stitch in the arms of the snowflake is the Pearl Stitch #1 which may be found on p. 15 of Sylvia Morariu’s Romanian Point Lace for Beginners book available via her website: Sylvia’s Flowers and Lace.

The clear plastic beads were sewn into the tips of the flake with the thread remaining from the pearl stitches.
