CROCHETED CURTAINS

in Crochet, Decorating

I love to crochet. I spent many years toiling over tablecloths and doilies — only to have an accident with a drink (wine, coffee, soda — you name it!) ruin my hard work.

So I’ve focused on crocheted curtains instead. No one can possibly stain something hanging in a window, right? Haha — if it can be done, my hubby (love him) will find a way!

These white ones used to hang in the kitchen windows of our old house.

When we moved into the townhouse, I put two in the home office windows with the new black drapes — but they didn’t really fit … a tad to short width wise.

One of my to-do projects was make new ones. Well, one is finished. Hurray!

It’s really a simple pattern and I’m charting it out as I do the second one. I’ll post the chart here if I can figure out how to get it into digital form ;)
I like the pineapple motif. Here’s a closer look.

It just adds a bit more dimension with the pineapple edge. Plus, since these windows don’t go to the floor like my old kitchen windows did, the shorter cafe length fits better.

I choose burgundy because I wanted a bit more color at the windows — and I have a few scrap pieces of toile that will (someday!) be used in a project for the same room.

Now — don’t hold your breath for the second one to be finished anytime soon. In the meantime, I will have mis-matched curtains. LOL

Wow, those are beautiful!

You asked about my source for lavender..I got it at Save on Crafts
http://www.save-on-crafts.com/index.html
They do have bunches as well as buds. The lavender I bought from them is wonderfully fragrant.

Thank you for the compliment — and the source. I have it bookmarked!

Those are awsome. I’ve crocheted a little in my life, but I never thought of curtains. Hey I’m looking for a crochet pattern for small flowers. I’ve seen them and they can be appliqued onto to other stuff. Do you know what I’m talking about? When finished they are about 2″ dia.
Thanks,
Margo

Sure, I’ve got several flower patterns.

We’re going out of town tomorrow, so I don’t have time to dig them out now. But, I will as soon as we get back next week.

Are you looking for patterns to use with doily size thread or worsted weight yarn?
