Crocheted lace

Generally it uses finer threads and more decorative styles of stitching, often with flowing lines or scalloped edges to give interest.

Variation of the size of the holes also gives a piece a "lacy" look.

[1] The first examples of crocheted lace try to reproduce the products of other lacemaking techniques as faithfully as possible.

Over time, the many possibilities and inherent beauty of crocheted lace became more widely appreciated.

Freeform crocheted lace also exists, examples of which are pieces striving to imitate reticella lace.
