Crochet vintage lace heart motif (free pattern)

Hello everyone! Hope your doing good as summer is here working with wool gets quite difficult so I like to switch to crocheting with thread as its easy to work with and there’s not much yarn on your lap keeps you cool and yet creates delicate works.

this summer I will share a series crochet projects made with thread.

today I would like to share this cute heart lace motif (vintage style) this is a very unique pattern.

you can use it as tablemat, coasters, dream catcher or just as embellishments to your tops, hand bags well you can just be creative.

From quite some time I was planning to design a long top with crochet embellishments I tried a few patterns but couldn’t get it right. After a few attempts found this vintage style crochet patterns and it was just the right motif for my top Im happy with how the motif turned out.

I will share some pictures of my top once its ready.

have written down the notes for you 😍 made it as simple as possible. Also Included step by step pictures too.
