Openwork stitches
16 free • 45 premium patterns
These openwork patterns are more open than dense stitches, yet not as open as full lace. You will find leaf and flower motifs, shells, diamonds, and geometric grids here, as well as dimensional elements like puff, bobble, and popcorn stitches.
✤
What makes them especially useful is their flexibility. Worked in wool, they give cozy winter pieces, and in cotton, breathable warm-weather garments. These patterns adapt to whatever you are planning.
Openwork Stitches Collection
The collection combines my original designs with adapted classics, in styles from elegant to playful. Each one is a joy to crochet and beautiful in the finished piece.
