Intricate lace not only intrigues me -- it instills in me a passion & desire to recreate it. And irish crochet is one of those delicate, yet gorgeous laces that just leaves me breathless.
.One of my past issues of
MAGIC CROCHET (Oct. 2002 -- issue 140) includes a crochet pattern for an
irish crochet coaster.
.
.An added bonus? It is shown in Christmas colors.
,Perfect.

So using my size 5 crochet hook and crochet thread that I purchased from the thrift store, I made one little irish crochet coaster that seemed so well suited for this one little, vintage Christmas figurine.
