Use this easy pattern to crochet elegant, tiered lace for the ends of a table runner or tray cover. Depicting a flower pot or wall sconce, it was designed by Mrs. A.A. Biers in 1921.

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, and slip stitch.
