Crochet a tablecloth corner that features flying butterflies and swirling leaves, and attach it to fabric or a purchased plain tablecloth. Designed by Olive F. Ashcroft in 1924, the pattern includes two small matching butterfly corners for napkins.

This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today’s crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won’t need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms.

The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, double treble crochet, and slip stitch.
