PDF Instant Download, IN THE VINEYARD, Pattern No.144CE
This beautiful table matt pattern is made in Romanian Point Lace, a very old and exquisite European lace technique. In this listing it is sold as a PDF instant download. It is worked with DMC Cebelia Cotton thread, Ecru size 10 for braids(about 4 balls), size 20 for bullion stitch grapes, leaves, bridges and some of the crochet braids(about 5 balls), size 30 for needle lace stitches, 70m(purchase 1 ball). Other thread brands can be used but need to be of good quality like Anchor, Anchor Freccia, Lizbeth etc. This listing is offered partially in PDF and part by mail post. The 28 pages of easy-to-follow, step-by-step illustrated instructions are to be downloaded by you at the moment of placing your order. The paper pattern and the fabric muslin will be shipped to your address. You will need to purchase all necessary threads, 2 sharp pointed needles, size 5 and size 7, 2 tapestry needles, size 22 and 24, sewing thread for basting the braids onto the fabric pattern and a transfer-on-iron pen for transferring the pattern from the paper to the muslin. Sulky pens are a good brand. The method of transferring is explained in the instructions. Note: In order to make it easy to work the pattern, I have included in the pattern small paper patterns of the daisies and the flowers so that they can be worked separately on small fabric patterns and only then they can be basted on the large fabric pattern. Also, the crocheted leaves are basted after they are joined 5 of them together; so are the cluster of grapes basted on the large fabric pattern after they are worked separately. The instructions in the package explain each step in which the pattern need to be worked and assembled. A steel crochet hook(hk) 1.15-1.25mm (10-9 steel U.S.A.) is also required for crocheting the braids and the rings. The finished size of the pattern is 35" x 23"(89cm x 59cm).
