Crown lace pattern from the book Lacework for Adventurous Crocheters by Margaret Hubert

I am thrilled to share with you an inside peek into Margaret Hubert's latest book Lacework for Adventurous Crocheters: Master Traditional, Irish, Freeform, and Bruges Lace Crochet through Easy Step-by-Step Instructions and Fun Projects. The pattern that I thought I'd share is this crown lace crochet stitch. I love it as a full fabric, but I bet it would also look great as a border stitch.
