Set in a cabbage patch, a stork welcomes a new baby. Featuring the motto "May all your Troubles be Little Ones", this crocheted lace wall hanging pattern was designed by Mary Card as a pillow cover in 1925. Using simple chain and double crochet stitches, you can make it as a gift for a new mother. The original pattern called for size 100 crochet cotton, but when you use size 10 it will be about 33" wide and perfect for hanging or framing. 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 and double crochet.
