Originally designed by Josephine Wells in 1924 as a protective chair back cover or door panel, this pattern will make a wonderful curtain for your windows. Included are the original Hedeboe or Danish antique embroidery lace instructions for the lace motifs in the side panels.

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 and slip stitch. Instructions are not included for the embroidery or hemstitching.
