Learn the history of Clones lace from expert Maire Treanor. Inspired by Venetian needlepoint lace in the mid-1800s, Clones lace looks similar but is much quicker to create than needlepoint lace. Along with taking you through the history of this lovely crocheted lace technique, Marie Treanor will teach you how to make Clones lace motifs of your own.

Learn how to make these Clones lace motifs:

• Small Rose and Wild Irish Rose
• Shamrock and 3-Ringed Shamrock
• Grapes and Vine Leaves
• Rose Leaf, Clematis Leaf, and Scroll

You’ll also learn the Clones knot, a technique for joining Clones lace motifs together to create your own Clones lace wrap or shawl. You can follow along with the schematic included in the eBook, or create a shawl pattern of your own!

Once you learn the basic Clones lace motifs and the connecting knot, you’ll have everything you need to design and create you own beautiful Clones lace pieces!
