Tropical Flowers Lace Curtain Filet Crochet Pattern: Complete Instructions and Chart

Bring a touch of the tropics to your home decor with palm trees, flowering vines, and a basket full of tropical flowers. Originally designed in 1920 by Mary E. Fitch, the pattern is ideal to use for a valance by sewing plastic rings to the top. This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today's crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won't need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms. The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, double treble crochet and slip stitch.
