American Flag Lace Panel Filet Crochet Pattern A H Albau

Use this patriotic United States flag pattern to make a wall hanging, pillow top, or small curtain. Designed in 1917 by Mrs. A. H. Albau, there are 48 stars on the flag, and the pattern includes suggestions for different words. This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today's crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won't need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms. The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch.
