Inspired from a pattern in an early 1900’s stitch dictionary, what was originally intended to be a dainty border worked on minuscule needles and crochet thread turns into a big fashion statement when worked with chunky yarn on large needles. Go bold and stay warm in style!

Huge thanks to Emily Brewer or Brewer Studios for the amazing photos. :)
