✅ Pattern Structure Overview
This lace is made of:
- Chain arches
- Vertical ladder mesh
- Beautiful open diamond shells
The pattern repeats over multiples of 6 + 1 stitches.
To adjust size:
- Shawl: long rectangle
- Blouse: two rectangles (front + back)
✨ FOUNDATION CHAIN
Make a chain in multiples of 6 + 1
Example for practice:
ch 37 (6×6=36 +1)
🌿 Row 1 — Base Mesh
- Start in 5th chain from hook, dc.
- ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch
Repeat to end.
You now have a row of dc separated by ch-1 spaces.
Turn.
🌱 Row 2 — Chain Arches
- ch 4 (counts as dc + ch1)
- dc into next dc stitch
- ch 1, dc in next dc
Repeat across the row.
→ This row looks the same as Row 1, forming a nice mesh.
Turn.
🌾 Row 3 — First Decorative Fans Begin
- ch 5 (counts as dc + ch2)
- Skip 2 spaces; in next dc make: (dc, ch2, dc)
- ch 2
- Repeat step 2 across entire row.
End with ch2 + dc in last stitch.
Turn.
🌸 Row 4 — Build the Diamond Shape
- ch 4
- dc in the first ch-2 sp created in previous row
- ch 3
- dc in the next ch-2 sp
- ch 3, dc in next ch-2 sp repeat across
End with ch1 + dc.
Turn.
This row creates little “V-ladders.”
🌼 Row 5 — Open Lace Diamonds
- ch 3 (counts as dc)
- 2 dc in first ch-3 space
- sc in next ch-3 space
- 5 dc into next ch-3 space
- sc in next ch-3 space
- 2 dc in next space
Repeat:
2dc, sc, 5dc, sc, 2dc…
Turn.
This forms the pretty flower/leaf shapes in the lace.
🌟 Row 6 — Return to Mesh (Stabilizing Row)
- ch 4
- dc in space between groups
- ch 1, dc in next space
Repeat across.
Turn.
🎀 Pattern Repeat
Repeat Rows 2–6 for the entire project.
That’s it!
The design grows beautifully with soft drape.

Make a long rectangle using repeats until desired length.
👗 Making a Blouse (Very Easy)
