Lace Crochet Napkin Ring Pattern Details
These vintage-style lace crochet napkin rings are so easy and quick to make.
Plus what is even better that they come in many variations so you can make one that fits your style the most.
You will crochet the ring in the middle first. This gives you the opportunity to make the napkin rings in two colors.
Then you will crochet on both sides of the ring and add the finishing touches. You can keep the napkin rings plain or add beads to your picot stitches for extra special touch.
