This ebook is a collection of 8 crochet patterns, all of strips of lace, constructed in a basic design and implemented in a variety of finished objects: two hair bands made with tarn (or “t-shirt yarn”), three lace collars made with 4-ply and 6-ply cotton yarn, one hip belt made with 6-ply cotton yarn, decorative laces in cotton thread size 8 for hand-sewn fabric coasters and a lariat or neck-tie worked in crochet cotton thread size 8.
Once you see the underlying element that links these patterns together, it is possible to come up with many more variations by simply changing yarn, colour, construction or changing stitches in the patterns. This is one of many steps towards designing and making your own patterns.
