Tiny Flowers Filet Crochet Free Chart

In the year 1916, this simple flower design was published as part of a larger filet crochet chart in the publication The Ladie's World Filet Crochet Book No. 2 (now old enough to be in the public domain). I recharted this portion of the design, thinking that it would be nice as a filet lace insertion. Crocheted laces are great for adding to clothing, guest towels, handbags, tote bags and more. In my 7/3/2002 article, I gave suggestions for ways to sew crocheted lace insertions to clothing and other items. When you are crocheting a length of lace, it's often easier to crochet the design sideways, so you can determine the finished length as you go along. That's why I show this chart with the design on its side. Begin at the bottom of the chart. Repeat the chart as many times as needed, for the length that you want.
