We at Yarnspirations are loving lace and lace-inspired projects for Summer. Whether you choose to go traditional with an open-weave stole or doily-esque tea tray mat, or use lace-weight yarns in new and unexpected ways there’s something about light-as-a-feather projects that scream, sweet summery surrender! My latest Loose Ends, column project for Interweave Crochet Magazine gives a (hopefully) unpredictable nod to the lace trend by pairing Patons Lace with rhinestones, marabou feathers, and milliners net to create a vintage-style fascinator.
I had so much fun designing this piece because it allowed for me to combine the delicate nature of a fine-wight yarn with the structure of floral wire, and the glam mindset of a 1930’s starlet. Swoon.
I envision this headpiece on a cool, indie bride, as a formal tea party accessory, or even worn to the theater (preferably to see a production of The Great Gatsby!) Really, though it’s just a jumping off point for your own, creative expression. Pick a color palette, follow my pattern for the crocheted petals, then gather and add any trimmings that speak to you. I’d love to see what you come up with!
