irish crochet motifs

[dinavelvet]

played a little around doing irish motifs... maybe i will assemble a doily.

 

this time i worked with linen-yarn for padding thread and it came out just ok i think.

 

still... there's lots of practice to be done

These are great! I tried Irish Crochet before but couldn't quite get the hang of it. I really like your swirly bit there on the bottom.

Beautiful! You could put the motifs together and frame them, they're lovely. What size thread did you use?

[Katchkan]

Your motifs are lovely.

Irish crochet is one of my passions.

Is Irish Crochet the designs, or is there another form of crochet called that?

Your motifs are just lovely:hook I too like the swirly bit. What type of thread did you use?

Irish Crochet is a distinct style of crochet using motifs. Padding cords can be used in the motifs for definition and dimension. The motifs can be joined to each other or with fill in laces. The variations of motifs is almost endless. It is one of the most beautiful forms of crochet as far as I am concerned.

I used "DMC Cébèlia" strength 10 for working- and four strands of "Anchor Artiste Linen" (a pure linen yarn) strength 10 for padding.

Thank you! I can see in the photos how nice and glossy the thread is, and great stitch definition.

for all interested in the progress... i made some more motifs + now i try to make a nice netting with clone-knots. it's my first try to do a netting this way, so this might take some time.
