Lace pattern “SEASIDE”: full-perimeter filet crochet edging for a tablecloth, vintage style beauty, US terms.

Following this pattern you’ll be able to crochet simple beautiful lace with motives of breaking waves and diamond mesh.
I’ve designed and crocheted this model in 1998, reworked in 2023, still have the old tablecloth so you can see it on images.

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), detailed crochet diagram drawing (showing all stitches) and explaining (with images) of some difficult parts of the work.
Pages 1-5 and 7-10 are ready to print on an A4 size of paper; page 6 (crochet diagram drawing) - on an A3.

Also you’ll get the bonus on the 2nd PDF file: my photo tutorial “ATTACHING FABRIC TO THE CROCHET LACE”.

Intermediate. You must know 3dc filet crochet technique; basic crochet stitches and some advanced stitches: chain stitch, diamond mesh, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, double crochet stitches worked together.
