Designed by Mrs. C.H. Hendrick in 1921, you can use this simple owl pattern to make a wall hanging or pillow cover, or use baby-weight yarn to make a light afghan. The pattern includes instructions for the edging shown on the cover, and instructions for an alternate filet crochet border.

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 and double crochet.
