Irish Crochet Motifs
This helpful book will teach you how to make Irish Crochet Motifs. Both traditional motifs and updated motifs have been included (where possible).
The traditional motifs use padding cords and/or padded rings. The updated motifs do not use padding cords, or padded rings. The patterns will list either, Traditional or Updated. If it doesn’t list either, then it works for either method.
If the pattern lists PR you will need padding rings, if the pattern lists PC you will need padded cords.
All the motifs in the book use size-10 crochet cotton and a 1.65 mm steel hook except for the fourth motif in overlays (used size-20 crochet cotton and a 1.25 mm steel hook).
Helpful notes have been included, such as for the bullion stitch and clones knot, using an inline crochet hook may make it easier to draw through all the loops. So be sure to read the Overview section at the beginning of the book.
The difficulty levels range from easy to experienced.
12 different motifs (scrolls, wheels, fans, spokes, medallions, shamrocks and trefoils)
Edgings and Insertions
14 different types of edgings
Dangles
8 different embellishments (acorn, spirals and beads)
Overlays
layering of motifs and shapes
Fill-in Lace
6 styles of fill-in lace
Assembly
how to put all the motifs together and how to make fill-in lace to connect the motifs
Squares and Motifs
5 different motifs

I’d say this one is my “love the most” book. ☺
Irish crochet is so beautiful! Thank you for your review. It’s always good to know whether a new book will actually teach you or be a waste.
Very helpful review, the book seems like it’s worth building skills for.
Wow this book is beautiful. I may have to invest in this one.
Honestly, I have never seen anything like this. I’ve made a couple doilies but this looks so much more Intricate than I think I could master. So interesting though.
I have the Irish Crochet Motifs book and the designs are absolutely lovely.
This is something I would definitely love to learn how to do.

Such pretty motifs and it actually sounds like a book a beginner would learn from!!
Irish motifs are so pretty and I appreciated this review as to traditional and updated patterns noted.
Such elegant designs!
I’ve always thought Irish lace would be too difficult. I had no idea about padded cords and rings. That changes things.
These are so pretty and delicate. I wonder if I’ll ever have the patience to make them tho.
Such intricate motifs!
I love this type of motifs. They are very versatile and absolutely gorgeous.
