Wrought Iron Crochet?

[MrsForest]

I like the look but finding patterns is a bit difficult. Has anyone had a go at this before?

Found a few more links.

I didn't know wrought iron crochet even existed LOL. Oh the things I could put on my walls. LOL

Wow, I've never seen this before! That's amazing! Good luck and post pictures if you can!

That's really interesting.

I wonder how it looks in real life though.

In case anyone misses it, if you scroll down there are more patterns for it.

 

I'm very tempted to make the rooster to bug my husband. LOL

I did the same thing with pineapples. A nice 4plyww yarn and a G hook and you can make just about anything.

[MrsForest]

RoseRed I found your pattern for the pineapples. I may give it a go this week sometime.

I have an e book called Wrought Iron Crochet. It was put out by Lilly and the original price was 10 cents, . This one was digitally restored by Purple Kitty in 2009. I love it. Most of the items are made with black thread (cotton). It is lovely and works up very nice. I never tried doing one of the patterns in worsted, I think it would be too soft (unless for a wall decor) the cotton crochet thread can be stiffened and stands up well to make bread baskets and standing items. I like the trivets as they can be used on the table and counters like placemats or coasters, as well as wall hangings.

MrsForest - I can't wait to see them!

 

Happyoldcro - If you use an F or G hook - it comes out really stiff and holds it's shape well.

I probably had the same leaflet. I believe there was a wrought place mat in it and I think it had grapes or something similar on it. I believe I used black speed crosheen or quick crosheen. I remember crocheting a couple of them so many years ago.

I actually did mine in burgundy to match the kitchen/dining room.

Yes, that is the one.... An openwork placemat with grapevine trailing across it... I do so want to make the stand up rooster, but haven't had the chance to do any shopping for the right thread, plus it does look labor and time intensive and my energy levels aren't high enough right now.... Maybe in the spring...
