Garden Trellis Lace Centerpiece by Mary Card

Garden Trellis Lace Centerpiece

This pattern is available from claudiabotterweg.com for $4.50.

Dress your table with this beautiful flower and trellis centerpiece designed by Mary Card in 1927. The tablecloth is crocheted in five separate sections, and then the outside edge and joining are done in one long row. You can also use the pattern to make a lace lampshade cover, and a photo and instructions are included.

This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today’s crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won’t need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms.

The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, double treble crochet, and slip stitch.
