Irish lace is an ancient crochet technique dating back to the 14th century. It was in those days that Irish typesetting canvases were born, the relevance of which has not been lost today. On the contrary, products decorated with Irish lace or completely knitted from the motifs of this technique reflect the current trends in knitted fashion, while adding a luxurious zest to the female look.

Many needlewomen avoid lace knitted according to Irish motifs, because working on them is incredibly painstaking and requires virtuoso crochet skills from the craftswoman. However, you should not avoid Irish fabrics, the main thing is to try once, fortunately, today a huge number of master classes on knitting products with Irish lace are offered to the attention of needlewomen.
The basic principle of the Irish lace fabric is its execution from separate motifs (leaves, flowers, openwork cords, paisley cucumbers, other plant elements), which are subsequently combined into a single composition using an openwork grid (regular or irregular).

Before you start Irish knitting, you need to carefully select the materials: yarn and hook. You need to choose a thread taking into account its stiffness and thickness. To knit Irish lace, it is better to immediately stock up on three types of threads in thickness: thick (for making dense volumetric patterns), medium (for knitting most of the lace patterns), thin (for tying the future product with a net).

If the lace is knitted from silk or fine cotton yarn, it is better to take a hook with a diameter of no more than 1-1.2 mm, this is the only way to forget about the need to constantly monitor the tightness of the loops. In order to get larger motifs and thick yarn, it is better to use hook No. 1.5-2.

The pattern of any product made using the technique of Irish lace is knitted from motifs that are interconnected using a thin openwork background (mesh), forming a type-setting canvas.

In order to get to know Irish lace better, and at the same time practice knitting the most popular motifs, we suggest picking up a hook, fine yarn and following the detailed instructions given in the master classes below.

Volumetric three-tiered flower in the technique of Irish knitting

Volumetric multi-row flowers are one of the most popular motifs of Irish knitting, for many they are an indicator of the use of this technique on the finished product.
Such a floral element is called the "Irish rose". There are countless variations of knitting a motif, and if you understand the principle of knitting, then anyone, even a beginner needlewoman, can easily modify the shape of a flower by changing the shape of the petals and increasing / decreasing the number of tiers.

The flower is knitted from soft yarn, for greater rigidity of the edge of the petal, you should crochet a number less than the thickness of the thread, or use a bourdon (thicker base thread).

Conditional abbreviations in the text:

• VP - air loop;
• runway - runway lift;
• SS - connecting column;
• RLS - single crochet;
• CCH - double crochet;
• С2Н - double crochet;
• С3Н - a column with three crochets;
• PR - previous row;
• PS - half-column.

1) We collect a chain of 5 VPs, connect them into a circle with the help of the SS, tie the ring with the 8th RLS.

2) We knit 2 CCHs into each loop of the PR - in total we should get 16 CCHs.

3) We knit in rapports: 5 VP + 2 RLS in the next 2 loops of PR. We finish the row. We get 8 petals.

4) We make the strapping of each petal: 1 RLS + 5 CCH + 1 RLS, in the jumper between the petals - 1 PS.

5) To give the flower volume, the petals are knitted with relief columns.
Densely arranged petals are superimposed on each other, due to which a three-dimensional effect is created.
So, we knit the second tier of petals: 7 VP + embossed column, exciting PR column at work. We repeat the row with rapports until the very end.

6) We tie all the received arcs of the second tier with rapports: 1 RLS + 7 CCH + 1 RLS; in the loop between the arcs we knit 1 PS. The second tier is ready:

7) We knit the third tier of petals: an arc of 10 VP + a relief column, an exciting column of PR at work. We repeat the row with rapports to the end.

8) We tie each received arc of the third tier with rapports: 1 RLS + 10 CCH + 1 RLS; in the loop between the arcs we knit 1 PS. The third tier is ready:

9) We tie the edges of the petals of the third tier with rapports: 1 PS + 1 VP. Motive completed!

In order to get acquainted with the process of knitting three-dimensional Irish flowers in real time, we suggest watching a vivid selection of video tutorials on floral motifs:

Fantasy leaf with lush columns

No less floral motifs such elements of Irish lace as leaves are in demand. They can be very different - both openwork flat and ornate voluminous. We bring to your attention step-by-step instructions for knitting such an original leaflet:

Progress

1) We collect the basis-chain of 18 VPs (it can be either more or less, the size of the sheet depends on it in fact).

2) We knit a row of RLS along the chain from the VP, but skip the last VP.

3) Turn the knitting over, pick up a chain of 8 VPs.

4) We perform С3Н, skipping two loops in the base chain. We do not knit the last loop of the column and loop.

5) We make eight threads around the column.

6) We drag the main thread through all the twists, but in order to get a magnificent column, it is better not to tighten the thread too much.

7) We knit together two free loops.

8) We collect 3 runways, we do this after each volumetric column.

9) We knit the next C3H, skipping 2 loops at the base of the leaflet.

10) We repeat all the steps with threading the column. By analogy, we knit two more such magnificent columns with 8 twists.

11) We knit the fifth volumetric column CCH, we make 6 threads on it.

12) We knit the sixth column PS + 5 twists.

13) We finish the row: 5 VP + SS in the last loop of the leaf base.

14) We tie the second part of the base of the sheet in the same way as the first part, but in the opposite order.

15) We end with a chain of 8 VP + SS.

16) Then - we tie the arches between the posts - we knit RLS.

17) We collect a chain of 18 VPs, using it to create a leaf stalk.

18) We turn the knitting over, tying the stalk of RLS.

19) We tie the leaf itself with the following rapport: 1 SS + 1 VP. Ready!

In Irish technology, there are a huge number of options for knitting leaves, with detailed master classes for the manufacture of which can be found in the following videos:

Openwork motif "heart"

Such an unusual Irish motif will definitely attract attention. It not only gives the Irish canvas an incredible relief, but also adds an exquisite gloss to it. In shape, the motif resembles a heart or a horseshoe, and can be used to decorate formal dresses, including evening and even wedding dresses.

Progress

1) We collect the base-chain of 16 VP. With the help of SS we wrap the chain in a circle.

2) We tie a circle with 22 sc, introducing a hook inside the circle.

3) We turn knitting, we collect 4 VP. We knit with a “corn” pattern, skipping 2 loops of PR. We finish the series 1 VP + 1 CCH.

4) We turn over the knitting, we tie the arches from the VP of the 5th RLS.

5) Turn over, tie next to RLS.

6) The next step is to knit a row of RLS, at the same time, you need to insert the hook into the back half-loop of the PR.

8) We complete the motif by knitting the “crustacean step”.

9) We turn the knitting over to the front side, we knit arches from 4 VP along the upper edge. And the last step - we tie them with the 6th RLS.

We offer a detailed video tutorial on knitting another type of Irish crochet heart:

Fashionable lace motif "paisley pickles"

Paisley cucumbers are widely used to decorate women's clothing - their curls complement the design of blouses, skirts and dresses. Irish lace offers us an original version of knitting paisley cucumbers - this work is not at all difficult, and the result is breathtaking.

Progress.

1) We collect the base chain of 6 VPs, we enclose it in a ring with the help of the SS, we tie the 8th RLS.

3) We close the ring with the help of the SS. We knit 4 VPs, skip one SSN PR, knitting SZN in the next column.

5) We attach the bourdon threads (4-5 threads folded together), we tie the entire RLS element.

6) As soon as knitting has reached the sharp end of the bourdon, we collect 20 RLS, we connect them in a circle, retreating from the end of the motive about 6 loops.

7) We continue to tie RLS.

8) We knit the final row with RLS, but with such rapports: 2 STB + picot from 4 VP.
Cucumber paisley motif in Irish style is ready!

Knitting patterns for Irish lace motifs

For pro-craftswomen who are fluent in crocheting, we provide a large-scale selection of patterns of Irish motifs:

Undoubtedly, Irish lace is one of the most difficult crochet techniques. In order to comprehend it perfectly, days and even months of hard training in knitting lace motifs are needed. However, it is definitely worth it - works made by Irish lace are highly valued not only aesthetically, but also financially.

It should be noted that the technique of Irish lace is used for knitting all kinds of women's wardrobe items: light blouses, blouses and tunics, airy sundresses and romantic floor-length dresses, as well as all kinds of accessories - stylish handbags, openwork gloves and exquisite collars. Irish lace also looks interesting in interior decor - they are used to knit openwork napkins and tablecloths, tie vases and even photo frames.

The crown of a career for any needlewoman can be a crochet dress using the Irish lace technique. After all, this is the most difficult, laborious, labor-intensive knitting technique.

Why is Irish lace so difficult to knit?

1. You need to make the right pattern, ideal for your figure. The motifs are connected by a mesh into a single canvas without seams, if your pattern does not match the size of the figure a little, then it will be very difficult to dissolve and bandage the finished product.
2. There should be tucks on the pattern, there is no way without them. Only with darts will the dress sit as it should. If you are not sure about the accuracy of the pattern, then take and sew a dress from any fabric on it. Try it on and adjust for yourself.
3. The product consists of a large number of elements, it is very important to choose a beautiful color scheme for them. Often you see how craftswomen demonstrate their dresses using the Irish lace technique, but you understand that they are too gaudy, or vice versa, too simple. It seems that everything is connected clearly, a lot of work has been expended, but the product does not “sparkle” with its beauty. But this technique was created so that we could create masterpieces that are unique in their kind.
4. Needlewomen are advised not to choose many different motifs if you are not confident in your skill. After all, the more elements of Irish lace you knit, the more difficult it is to harmoniously fit them into the finished dress. Those who knit Ireland have recently chosen simpler elements, but professionals prefer to create author's elements that are unlike anyone else. Not only is it very difficult to repeat the work once connected, but it is not always possible to guess the scheme of this or that element. Professionals must have their secrets.
5. It is necessary to break the thread and hide the ends at the end of knitting each motif. And motives in one dress can be 50 - 100 - 200 and even more. Each time you need to take a needle, hide the tip, cut off excess yarn, subject it to heat or wet treatment and assemble individual compositions from them.
6. The last and contented monotonous part of the work is the combination of individual elements of Irish lace into a whole dress. If you connect them with an irregular grid, then you need to take a thin hook, which means it will take a long time to connect. The mesh should not spoil the compositions, but complement them.
7. A dress using the Irish lace technique cannot be knitted in 1, 2 weeks, real masterpieces are created for months, which means that a lot of patience and work will have to be spent. Not everyone makes it to the finish line. And those who reach it can rightly be proud of themselves. Leave the dress to the descendants as a family value and pass it on by inheritance.

Freeform master class

Freeform master class

from Elena Sinyukova.

The essence of the freeform technique is that everything is possible. There are no restrictions on the color or texture of the yarn, only your taste, sense of proportion and flight of fancy! At the heart of any composition in freeform is contrast. Everything here is based on this principle. But not only in color, as we are used to, but also in a combination of convex and smooth sections, sections of a sparse fabric (openwork, mesh) and dense knitting, shiny and matte thread. Always trying to carefully select the colors in my work, I came to the conclusion that there should be only warm or only cold colors, you can’t mix them, the result is bad. Then there must be an idea for the work. What do you want to get as an output? For myself in free form, I come up with something like a motto, three words that convey the essence of the work-work, for example: sea-heat-sand; spruce-rain-clearing. Further, all motifs should be of the same style, even different in form. That is, if these are fantasy motifs, then everything (leaves, circles, squiggles) should be designed in this style. If the repetition of natural motives - then accordingly.

Irish lace (or Scottish) is one of the oldest and most complex arts in the world. For beginner craftsmen, it will be quite difficult to knit a product using this technique the first time. But a person has serious motives, for example, he wants to make a special gift to his loved one with his own hands, then he will definitely succeed. In addition, on the Internet you can find patterns and patterns for crocheting Irish lace.

Irish lace (or Scottish) is one of the oldest and most complex arts in the world.

This needle skill is to tightly connect separately related elements into a single composition. The knitting is very dense, and the patterns are beautiful.

There is an opinion that only experienced knitters can knit Irish lace. We cannot agree with this, because if you correctly follow the knitting patterns and do everything according to the description, you will be able to do a wonderful job. Let it be a small leaf or a snowflake at first, but over time, you can learn how to knit a dress or sundress with the Irish lace technique.

This craft has classic elements:

• Bunch of grapes.
• Shamrock.
• Leaflet.
• Round leaf.
• Rose.
• openwork flower, etc.

How to quickly knit a product using the Irish lace technique (video tutorials)

What tools need to be prepared?

• Hook. This is the main tool for such knitting. It should be selected for the threads that are used in the work.
• Threads. For such knitting technique, you need to take three types of threads in thickness. The pattern itself is knitted from a thread of medium thickness, a thin thread is taken for the mesh, and the thickest thread for the warp.
• Scissors.
• Needle (optional).
• Paper template.

Work begins with knitting those elements that will make up the finished pattern. Often beautiful patterns are obtained while knitting a thick and medium thread together.

Tools may vary.

Each knitted element is fixed on a paper template. This action should be mandatory, because, even despite the density of knitting, the element may unravel if it is not fixed.

When all the elements are done, they should be fastened with a horse mesh. Parts are placed face down on paper.

Irish lace for beginners: step by step instructions

When a person is just starting to engage in such a craft, he should start with fairly simple schemes. For example, you can tie a small flower.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. At hand, the master should have a rather thick elongated object. For example, you can use a pencil or a knitting needle. Thread should be wound around the object. You need to do this several times.
2. After that, the resulting ring is removed from the base.
3. It is necessary to knit 30 columns in it. Single crochets are made.
4. To knit a bourdon, a thick thread is needed, but if it is not there, then the usual thread should be folded. It is imperative to think over the supply of thread, because if it is not enough, it will be difficult to fix the product in order to finish working on it later.
5. Then the flower petal is knitted. To do this, you need to form 1 air loop for lifting. A flower can have as many petals as you want, but for beginners it is better to make a few to master this skill.

Crocheted Irish Lace: Master Class

Master Class:

1. The first step is to tie the initial chain of lace. With a slip knot, the thread is attached to the hook, after which 21 air loops are knitted. A lot of thread for the initial chain should be allocated, since if it is not enough to collect all the loops, then the row will have to be tied up.
2. An additional loop in the row must be required. It is necessary to rotate the product when knitting. It is not necessary to knit in anything, its main purpose is to align the edge of the lace.
3. Then a series of elongated loops is made. The hook is led to the next loop in the row from it, while it grabs the yarn and stretches it. Please note that the size of the buttonhole depends on the size of the stitch. Thus, the tighter the lace is knitted, the smaller it will turn out.
4. This action is repeated throughout the chain. After knitting the last row, the additional loop is moved to the knitting needle from the hook, after which 21 loops are pulled there.
5. Then the loops should be grouped. 5 of them are crocheted and the yarn is pulled out. An air loop is formed. There should be 4 of them. To simplify the task, the loops should be well drawn out.
6. The columns are knitted without a crochet in elongated loops. 5 rows should be knitted. The action is repeated until the end of the row.
7. After moving to a new row, the columns continue to be knitted without a crochet.
8. Knitting continues until the product reaches the desired size.

Knitting in this technique is not so difficult

At the end, the thread is threaded through the last loop and cut with scissors.

Technique and principles of Irish lace

Work starts with the right pattern. If a wardrobe element is knitted, then the pattern should ideally match the figure. If you make even minor flaws, then later you will have to redo the work for several hours. Therefore, each pattern must be built individually.

Many novice craftsmen cannot understand what to do with the threads left over from the motives? There are a lot of these threads left, so for some they become a problem. Everything is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. It is enough to take into account in advance that the threads should remain more than necessary for the yarn, since at the end it will need to be cut off by threading it into the last loop.

Work starts with the right pattern

Another important point in Irish lace is the knitting of motifs. During this, you always need to control the level of thread tension. If it is too tight, then the product will turn out to be narrow and small, and if on the contrary, it will be loosely stretched, the product will be shapeless.

To add zest to the work, you should use threads of different thicknesses. So the work will be more beautiful. A mesh should be made from a thin thread, and separate elements of clothing should be knitted with a medium thread.

What mistakes do beginners make in Irish lace technique?

• Wrong thread color. Many mistakenly believe that the color range of threads in one product, knitted with Irish lace, should be varied. This is wrong. So that a person in such yarn does not look like a Christmas tree, it is enough to use a maximum of 3 colors when knitting. But these colors should match well.
• Lots of motives. Many novice craftsmen make motives "in reserve", wanting to test themselves. This is wrong, especially if clothes are knitted. For example, a blouse that is not knitted according to a pattern can simply hang on the body. It's not beautiful.
• Sheer knit. It must be remembered that the technique of Irish lace involves a fairly transparent knitting. Therefore, if a jacket is put on, connected by this technique, then under the bottom you need to wear a turtleneck or T-shirt. If there is a desire to wear just a jacket, without anything underneath, then the knitting should be tight enough, then the product will not be enlightened.

Irish lace: the basics of knitting flowers (video)

Yes, Irish lace is not an easy knitting technique, but anyone can learn how to master it. As the saying goes: "There would be a desire." If you practice long enough, you can not only tie a small flower with Irish lace, but also make a wonderful sweater, scarf or sundress according to mk.

Recently, clothes knitted with motifs and elements of Irish lace have become fashionable. Eye-catching things look unusual and beautiful. Unique lace products are highly appreciated by the most demanding modern fashionistas. You can use knitted details for decorating clothes, handbags, shoes. Consists of a set of separately knitted details connected among themselves by a grid.

The complexity of the parts of the stacked lace is different, but all the fragments, both complex and simple, look great in the product.

Learning to knit simple motifs for beginners

Craftswomen create lace products from wonderful plexuses of plant patterns, surprising with the unusualness and subtlety of the painstaking work of needlewomen who create crocheted openwork compositions. The technique of creating ornaments is diverse, in many ways, but the result is striking in the uniqueness and delicacy of the created pattern. Clothing made using this technique looks elegant and extravagant.

To learn how to knit, it is best to start with simple ones:

• ribbed leaflet
• round sheet
• openwork leaf
• simple flower
• flower
• twig with leaves

Today we will look at the technology for making beautiful petals and leaves on a twig.

By learning simple motifs, you will be able to create the desired individual things. The main thing is to stock up on patience, perseverance and a well-developed imagination. With all this, you can associate unusual colorful plant compositions.

Irish lace and motif schemes with description

When crocheting, schematic images are used. To understand how to read a pattern, you need to study the symbols for knitting. I propose to see how the techniques already known to us are schematically indicated.

Having studied the above designations, we will create original leaves.

Preparatory stage, materials and accessories

In the process of creating fragments, we need the following material:

• hook of the required size
• yarn
• scissors
• schematic drawings

Knitted ribbed sheet and trefoil according to patterns

In Irish knitting, the most famous fragment of the ornament is considered to be a ribbed leaf. There are many different schematic drawings for creating leaves, which for some reason scare away beginner needlewomen. But beginners should not despair as following the conventions and carefully studying the step-by-step description of the work performed, everything will work out - you will make beautiful and neat leaves.

The knitting of this element consists of a monotonous thread wound in a half-loop or from melange yarn in two half-loops. The size of the leaf is set by the needlewoman herself at the expense of the unfinished row, creating a narrow leaf shape. The loops are not always considered, at the request of the master.

Instructions for creating a relief sheet

	We collect 12 air loops.
	From the second 9 single crochets, finishing the process with 3 air loops.
	The second side of the sheet is identical, at the same time tying the end of the thread. Knitting ends without knitting one loop to the end of the row.
	One air loop is knitted, the workpiece is turned over, and then 11 tbsp., Single crochet and 3 VP. The other side of the leaf is identical.
	Knitting the last one, at the end of the row, we capture it in two half-loops, in order to avoid stretching the leaf.
	In this way we make the whole leaf. If in all rows you do not knit in a column, we get beautiful cloves. In the final row, in place of the loops, 7 tbsp is knitted. without a crochet.
	The leaflet is tied. Cut the thread, removing the end.

We create the intended number of identical parts of the future masterpiece.

Crochet shamrock

The next well-known motif is the shamrock, which is used in almost all handicrafts.

To connect it, you must strictly follow the indicated steps:

• With the help of a hook of the appropriate size, six air ones are drawn, and closed in a ring
• Three identical arches are knitted from six similar loops
• Finished arches are tied with two single crochet, sixteen with double crochet and two more single crochet
• Having finished the procedure, we cut the fiber, hiding the tail

We get a pretty shamrock. A branch with leaves, used in all kinds of home-made products, looks no less nice.

Branch with leaves

Before starting to perform creative manipulations to create a branch with oval leaves, we carefully consider the schematic representation of the presented drawing and consider all further methods in order to avoid making all sorts of mistakes.

Looking at the picture, we see that the process is performed from the bottom up. Let's figure out how to make the first sheet of a given pattern.

1. We collect seven air loops (further VP) and ten more.
2. We turn this section and knit a connecting loop, one - without a crochet, three - with a crochet, one - without a crochet, one connecting loop, fixing the connecting loop in the seventh loop of the beginning of the chain.
3. At the base of the emerging leaf, the knitted part turns from the side VP created leaflet, and in a circle there is a set of twenty-two half-st.
4. The working part is rotated, the looming sheet is tied in a circle with semi-columns before the formation of the sheet begins.
5. Recruiting nine VP and the same as before, we form the next sheet. We monitor the quality of the work procedure, we do not overtighten the thread and do not release it so that the knitted parts keep their shape.
6. The workflow then proceeds as before. The main thing is to carefully read the diagram and correctly read the denoting signs.

Connecting knitted parts

Having learned to knit a variety of fragments, they can be connected to each other:

• with a needle
• grabbing the loops of the last row of two parts
• using an irregular mesh, a honeycomb mesh, or a sirloin mesh
• tying the mesh separately and sewing details on it

Ready-made miniature motifs are used to decorate blouses, skirts, cardigans, hats, handbags, you can make chic and beautiful paintings, panels, create a fancy napkin that decorates the living room.

To recreate unique things with a charming weaving technique, you need to have a developed imagination, patience and a great desire to create without restrictions.

We knit amazing patterns of motives in master classes

The method of work in Irish technology is distinguished by the collection of a product from several separately connected “puzzles”, interconnected by a mesh. The main thing is to feel the work being created, to select the right matching shades of threads, to combine the fragments correctly. Having creatively approached the implementation of interesting and exciting work, the result will delight the craftswomen with a masterpiece. Having carefully studied the process of knitting individual motifs and mesh, novice craftswomen will be able to knit their first composition.

Look great in lace cords and curls, flowers and petals, connected by a grid. Curls look a little better on clothes. Needlewomen use the original curled yarrow.

Consider a step-by-step instruction for creating a yarrow motif. The element is executed using a bourdon - a thread in three additions. The same thread is used as the working one.

	On the bourdon we collect 18 s. b. n., forming a ring.
	We continue to gain 60 s on the bourdon. b. n.
	We turn the knitting, pulling the bourdon threads tighter and knit 20 tbsp. b. n., laying the bourdon over the loops of the underlying row.
	Knitting the last loop, we tighten the bourdon, shaping the part.
	The bourdon thread is set aside. We knit 3 in. p., 1 tbsp. With. n., 2 c. n. In this way we do before the start of rounding the leaf and along it.
	Knitting turns, we tie the arches with three single crochets. Bourdon stays away.
	We reach the end, turn the product over, knit 15 tbsp on the bourdon. b. n.
	The work is turning. we also do bourdon, 2 st.b.n., 2 half-columns, 7 st.s.n., 2 half-st., 2 st.
	We skip 2 loops of the underlying row, we knit 1 st.b.n., the work turns, placing the budon on top of the petal, we knit 8 tbsp. b. n.
	Further on the bourdon we collect 7 tbsp. b. n.
	The work turns, the next petal is formed. The procedure is repeated until the end of the row. It turns out a beautiful curl.

Having learned how to perform one fragment, we proceed to perform other details. Following the schematic images, we create our favorite curls, leaves, caterpillars. Yarrow scheme for beginners

Often, in the creation of lace outfits, along with vegetable, all kinds of cords are used to emphasize the ornament being created. One of these is the caterpillar cord.

We offer you to see a detailed step-by-step description of the dense braid used in creativity.

Illustration	Description
	An air loop is knitted, the hook is inserted under the thread of the first knot, the thread is removed and a loop is made.
	Already two pieces have formed on the hook, through which the third is pulled.
	We turn the work around.
	Turning the knitted piece, we find two threads.
	Through the detected threads we create a loop. On the working tool - two.
	Tie two loops together.
	We expand the work.
	Through two threads we stretch one loop.
	The workflow is repeated. We knit a cord of the required length.

Types of knitted nets in handmade lace

Finished parts intended for the formation of clothes are connected in three ways:

Fastening fragments with a net is a fairly simple type of knitting, which consists in laying out details on a pattern, filling the empty space with a sirloin net.

A void of unequal size is filled with an irregular network.

The procedure is facilitated by knitting on a mesh pattern and attaching finished elements to it. Most lace products are assembled using an irregular grid.

Crochet instructions, its elements and motifs

The typeset parts of Irish lace are connected by an irregular network. We pre-attach the joints of the fragments with stitches, fill the space with an asymmetric network, created by changing air arches and columns with a different number of crochets.

Prepared motifs are placed on a pattern placed on a foam rubber substrate, and fixed with tailor's pins so that the fabric does not wrinkle. They are laid out face down.
