Crochet Lace

Crochet Lace
CROCHET LACE
Any hand-knitted lace made with the crochet hook. Similar to needle-point lace, but coarser; they imitate such laces as Venetian and Honiton. Irish crochet is the most popular and is of linen thread. Imitations come from many Eurpoean and Asiatic countries. The various design elements are made separately and joined together by bars.
