Vintage 1937

There's the charm of Grandmother’s time in this lacy panel-inset, a luxurious bit of dress-up for your “best” bedspread! In string it measures 24 by 35 inches, but goes quickly, for the background is in lace stitch. It would also be effective as a door panel.  The stunning panel running lengthwise of the bolster may also serve as a scarf. Crochet this beautiful design of humble, durable string or in finer cotton for smaller panels. I
