Romantic Lace FICHU "Petite Girlfriend", Crochet Pattern

Let´s crochet: a Fichu, the Petite Girlfriend – Crochet Pattern

• My new shawl design – a FICHU, a romantic triangle shawl made of fine crochet lace
• A tribute to the beautiful historical Fichu-Ladies of the 19th century
• Made of lace yarn, finely crocheted, here in delicate Japanese bourette silk
• Light as a feather. A breath for the shoulders, neck & décolleté. A flatterer for women. A friend … also gorgeous as a wedding shawl over a wedding dress, e.g. in white silk shades …

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

• With a purchase, you will receive a comprehensive 9 page PDF consisting of crochet charts/diagrams, written instructions, as well as helping photos that will guide you step by step through the instructions to a beautiful result.
• The FICHU has professional detail crochet charts with a pattern repeat.
However, the rows are also in writing.
• The PDF is in landscape format.
If your printer does not print this format automatically, please set it manually.

• Do you want to know more about the FICHU history? ...,
then I recommend you the corresponding article in my blog Cadooh Artlandleben

• Crochet Skills: Easy-intermediate, i.e. you should have previous crochet experience. It is an advantage if you have crocheted lace before, e.g. delicate tablecloths, doilies, etc. The Fichu is worked in delicate, thin silk and very loosely crocheted. Likewise, there is a color change. Therefore, the difficulty level is a little increased. Not suitable for crochet novices!
