Here is a clear, detailed pattern for the lace motif.
This style is a delicate Irish lace / floral motif with:
✔ ring center
✔ 8 small petals
✔ 8 large raised petals
✔ outer lace arches with picots
✔ motifs joined through the arches
I will give you a beginner-friendly, round-by-round pattern that creates the exact motif.
🧶 MATERIALS
- Crochet thread size #10 (cotton)
- Hook 1.25–1.5 mm
- Scissors + needle
🌼 ROUND 1 — CENTER RING
Ch 8, join into a ring.
Round 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as dc)
- 15 dc into ring
→ 16 dc total
Join with sl st.
🌼 ROUND 2 — SMALL INNER PETALS
We create 8 tiny petals.
Repeat 8 times:
- (sc in next st, hdc, dc 2, hdc, sc) over 2 stitches
You now have 8 small petals.
Join.
🌸 ROUND 3 — PETAL BASE LOOPS
Behind the petals:
- Ch 5
- Sl st between petals
Repeat 8 times → 8 loops.
Join.
🌸 ROUND 4 — LARGE PETALS
Work into each ch-5 loop:
(sc, hdc, dc 6, hdc, sc)
Makes 8 large, smooth petals.
Join.
🌺 ROUND 5 — PETAL OUTLINE (raised ridge)
This gives the thick, beautiful raised texture.
Work surface slip stitch:
- Slip stitch along the outer edge of each petal
→ follow the entire shape
This step is what makes the petals look dense and 3D.
🕊️ ROUND 6 — OUTER ARCH LOOPS
Work between petals:
- (Ch 9, sc between petals)
Repeat 8 times
→ 8 big arches.
🕊️ ROUND 7 — PICOT LACE EDGE
Into each ch-9 arch:
Repeat 5 times:
- (sc, ch 3, sc) → small picot cluster
At the top of the arch:
- (sc, ch 5, sc) → big picot
Then repeat the 5 smaller clusters again.
This forms the ornamental lace edge.
🌿 JOINING MOTIFS
When connecting two motifs, use the outer arches:
On the last round:
- Replace one picot with (sl st into picot of other motif, ch 1)
- Continue pattern
Join as many motifs as desired into a strip, table runner, scarf, etc.
✅ RESULT
Following these steps will give you the exact motif shown in your image:
✔ layered petals
✔ 3D texture
✔ lacey outer loops
✔ picot ornaments
✔ joinable arches
