Spring Into Crochet Lace
All your holiday crocheting is finished. And, it won’t be long before Spring arrives. Now is the time to start planning some beautiful Spring lace.
Clarice is one of my most popular designs. It is worked in a mercerized 5/2 perle cotton which is available on cones for a very reasonable price. I was able to find an incredible variety of colors at Webs.
Clarice is a top-down design, all worked in one piece as more of a modular design. Lovely lacework and a cute little button closure at the top make this top an adorable addition to your Spring/Summer wardrobe.
Marilyn is also a top-down style. It begins with a round yoke, shaping at the bust, then a gorgeous diamond lace repeat. Unfortunately, the gorgeous rayon I used is no longer available. But, the beautiful 5/2 mercerized cotton from Webs can be easily substituted.
If you have any special occasions planned for Spring, a shawl is a lovely and versatile accessory. And, Dreams does not disappoint!
And, if you want something truly unique, try the beautiful Mariposa with its gorgeous butterfly shaping.
Add some Spring crochet to your WIPs so that you’re ready when it finally arrives!

I just had to buy your Clarice pattern. I have a lovely yarn for it. I had bought the yarn with some top in mind, I just hadn’t decided on what top to make – this one may have won out!
Don’t hold your breath, cuz I have quite a few WIPs to do first, and then I’ll do this one. I will post a pic when it’s done in the facebook crochet group I belong to: blazing hooks.
Kim, I’ve already emailed you my question, but perhaps you will see this first. Do you write your designs with US or UK terminology?
Tks.
All US terminology on my patterns. I hope you enjoy your pattern and look forward to seeing your top.
I know I’m against the fashion timeline, but I’m still making scarves & hats since it’s cold and occas. snowy here…wish I were prepared for the season. Feel I’m running and never quite catch upp[!
These are beautiful Kim, and I already own the pattern & yarn for the violet lace shawl.
I’m glad you’re updating the blog more now–I enjoy the views & the tips & lessons too….
Marilyn
Thanks, Marilyn! Things were pretty rough there for awhile. I’m glad that things have calmed down some around here.
These Patterns are Beautiful!! @.@ I will have to buy them first chance!! Once I finish up my own list of things to crochet. XD These will go on a separate list (it seems I do nothing but make lists) for later projects. But I love them so I amy not wait. lol
