I also designed a summer crochet pattern with this stitch! It’s called the Summer Breeze Vest—check it out here!

Last thing before we get started on this stitch: I created a bundle of 4 stitch patterns on Etsy which can be found here. Included is the Victorian Stitch, plus 3 OTHER lace stitch patterns (all of the ones that will be released in June!) The stitches are written out for easy printing. Find this bundle HERE!

I  just couldn’t resist naming this stitch the Mayberry Stitch. After all, it’s May, and the little bobbles look like berries! Haha.

I do love this stitch, because it gives you an awesome texture without getting too bulky.

This stitch was inspired by the windows of a great cathedral. There is something so majestic about cathedrals.

I also wanted to create some stitches to represent Easter, and I figured cathedrals, churches of old, were the perfect start. Be on the lookout for other Easter-inspired stitches coming out in the next few weeks!
