Inspired by the solid color throws seen in current home decor magazines, this beautiful lace throw is perfect for any decorating style.
I love when I make up a stitch pattern and it works this beautifully!
Making beautiful crochet lace is a wonderful way to spend your evenings. This is included in my series, Romantic Lace Throws.
