I bought a 1mm hook thinking I'd use it to pick up stitches while knitting... hahahaha no. Blessing in disguise, as now I get to learn how to crochet lace!
perhaps some dexterity skillz for them finger tips with the finished core doughnut haha! them little things are super tiny to pinch and hold between the finger and thumb tip!
I’m not sure if it’s just a difference in region and terminology because I know it can change but what your doing for like American terminology is a single crochet. A double crochet is yarn over draw up a loop so you have 3 loops on your hook yarn over pull through 2 yarn over pull through remaining 2. I want to learn Irish crochet so if I buy a book or a pattern for it and it says double crochet what I actually need to do is a single crochet?? I’m just trynna make sure I do it right cause I love this style and have been wanting to do it for a while. I love your tutorial!
I'm not sure if it's an exact match, but lace weight yarn or crochet thread is sold by a lot of yarn companies. Hobbii has a nice one in mercerized cotton in a lot of colors.
I would suggest you start with the larger lace making threads like 10 20 30 size. And then work your way down in size ..it makes a huge difference especially if youre going from chunky yarn 5s or 4s. Get a few sizes and do the same pattern large medium small. Use whatever feels good for you. I have crotchet thréad that i find really kinky so i have got a lovely linen threat for sewing instead and it qorks amazingly. And when you wash it it softens which is nice.
Isn't it important how much dc you do? I mean, that's not important if you crochet a pattern or flower on it later, you have to have a certain number of stitches, right? Whenever I shoot a video about the production of these buttons, I always wonder how to continue working later. 💮
I don't think it's overly important. The beauty about Irish crochet is that it's not perfect. You can add ar reduce stitches in your next round and mould it to your requirements, or as in a lot of antique pieces you can stitch a buttony on top of a motif...avoiding the headache altogether! Apologies, I have only just read your comment after all this time.
Its actually better to adjust the stitches according to how things are fititng. One petal might be looser than another so you do it the same length rather than sticking to the number of chains or one fill might end up chunkier with less stitches so you would stop when it looks feels equal rather than following it mathmatically. I used to follow patterns by the numbers but i quickly realised they were never working out the same either because i stitch tighter or looser so just doing it to fit rather than mathmatically for me looks a lot better and feels sbetter too because instead of counting in your head you can just chill the maths brain and use your senses to guide you. For the first time you do something its good to count and see how it goes but then like making a cake you get a feel for things and dont have to be anal about it. There are times though when you will rip back to add or lessen stitches because your next row or round isnt working the way you hoped.
It is confusing different terms on different sides of the Atlantic. Single crochet is the US term. Double crochet is the UK/Ireland Term for the same thing. :)
I have crocheting for 50 years, thanks grandma B. but have always wanted to do Irish lace. thank You, Hope

This is irish lace. Not american lace.
Irish crochet uses the same terms as English crochet. So yes a single crochet in America is a double crochet in English / Irish terms.
@@noeleenbyrne5197 we use the same terms as the rest of the known universe ..indaia africa bali everywhere except usa.
🙌👍👍👍
Bouncy buttonies...
Where do you buy spools of threads for crocheting and lacemaking? Good quality please.

What size is the thread you are using?
It's size 20. Apologies for the delay noticing your query.
Terminology is confusing (single - double crochet) but otherwise good tutorial.
It is confusing different terms on different sides of the Atlantic. Single crochet is the US term. Double crochet is the UK/Ireland Term for the same thing. :)
I think only the US uses the term single crochet
