  2. Add stability<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Single crochet into each chain to create a sturdy base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Spacing matters<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The lace motif needs balanced spacing to show off its intricacy. After every cluster or loop, chain a set number to create \u201cwindows\u201d that will shape the final look.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
