Hairpin Lace Patterns

Researching hairpin lace patterns, history, tools and such I came across several pictures without instructions.  I did find one tutorial on circular hairpin lace design work but it was in Spanish and the only Spanish I know is “how much please” and “where is the bathroom please”….didn’t help me much with the tutorial but I was able to watch and understand the process.

The pictures below show the process and the beautiful results.  Hopefully I will be able to find directions and share them with you or direct you to a web site that has them.

I have made 14 of these and will join them, adding more until I have a table runner for my dining room table.

Making hairpin lace fringe is very easy.  When making the “strip of loops” keep the crochet joining of the loops close to one of the posts with your loom.

Good Luck and be sure to share your projects!
