I am not a fan of lace but adore this pattern. It is working up beautifully with my advent minis. Thank you so much
This is my very first time using double crochet on a project - I'm really pleased with the overall project so far as a beginning one, it's a lace-up tube top with a solid bust area (basically just one big wide single crochet rectangle) and an underbust area made up of this lace. The two best parts of this project are that it laces up, so it isn't fussy with sizing, and that the first couple rows actually benefit from being a little too tight (a common mistake when starting crochet, as I discovered for myself), since those rows are the very top of the shirt and benefit from being tighter than the rest of the bust.
I'm using this pattern as a valance for the window in the back door of the beach cottage! It's so pretty!

Like this pattern. Made a headband with it. Started off with a chain less HDC but to finish end off with a straight edge I did the following: Row 1: I chained 3 & DC’d into same stitch, chain 2 & SC into the fan chain , chain 2, (DC ch2 DC) into the v stitch, chain 2 & SC into the fan chain and repeat until the double crochet end where you single crochet into then chain 2 Row 2: HDC into the top of each stitch & HDC 2x (twice) into each chain and you should have a straight edge. Of course you can use single crochet etc, instead of the half double crochet.

Hi Elsa, First I would decide what direction you want the stitches to be. >> or ^^ If you make the chain for as long as the wrap would be then your rows would determine the width of it. If you make a chain the width of the shawl then your rows would determine the length of the shawl. Hope this isn’t more confusing. Use a tape measure decide on size then chain that many or a few extra to start. Have fun making your shawl! It will be beautiful! Thank you for watching and commenting.
