A Yap Lace Edging in Crochet and Needle Lace Pattern

Bart Elwell’s exquisite Yap Lace incorporates an interesting structure of crochet combined with needle lace. Vintage crochet hooks from the collection of the designer; Lizbeth thread courtesy of Handy Hands. The six-petal needle-lace flowers that are worked inside the large scallops after the crochet portion has been completed are an unusual feature not often found with crochet.
