Then make 3 chains and 2 incomplete double crochets, followed by 3 chains and 3 incomplete double crochets in the same space. *3ch, 3 incomplete. dcs, 3ch incomplete dc* until you have  6 pairs of 3 incomplete dcs.

Then make 3ch and make a set of 3 incomplete dc into the next space. Then make 3 chain and make another set of 3 incomplete double crochets into the same place.

Repeat 1 set of 3 incomplete double crochets and 2 sets of 3 incomplete double crochets alternately until the end of the round. At the end, join  to the 3rd chain of the 3 chains at the beginning.

Round 3

                                                     

                                                   

Round 4: Join another colour and make 3 ch and 2 dcs to the chain 3 space. Again 3dcs to the next space. Then we have to make the corner. To make it, make 3dcs and make 2 ch and again make 3 dcs .*3dc, 3dc, then at the corner (3dc, 2ch, 3dc)* Repeat to the end.

Round 4 and 5

A free pttern, broad lace to decorate different items

                         

Half-finished broad lace

A broad lace, suitable for surface attachment. You can try this free broad lace crochet pattern using any type of yarn. But if you are going to attach it to blouses or tops, use thin cotton or silk yarn. If it is for a tablecloth, tea-poy cover, or bedspread, use somewhat thick yarn. 

Broad laces are more suitable for surface attachment; you have to use your creativity in choosing the way of attaching the lace to the selected item. If it is for a top you can attach it from the middle of the shoulder to the hem lengthwise or otherwise crosswise over the hem. 

You can attach this to the middle part of a sleeve. You can do it after removing the middle part of the sleeve lengthwise or crosswise. Then, as for the removed part, you can attach the lace. Then the sleeve will look very beautiful with its lacy nature. So, you can attach this lengthwise or crosswise not only on your sleeves but on tops, skirts, or tablecloths.

When you want to decorate a hem with this type of broad lace you can attach it over the hem instead of attaching it along the edge of the hem. 

Further, you have to select the color of the crocheting yarn to go with the color of the item you think to decorate. You can use a light color for the table cloth and dark color for the lace. For example, beige and brown, light blue and dark blue, light green and dark green, etc. 

If the item is a table cloth you can attach the lace to get an attractive design. 

Material: cotton or silk yarn. Do not use wool yarn. hooks select according to the thickness of the yarn. For fine threads, use 1 mm hook size. When the thickness of the yarn gradually increases, you can increase the hook size to 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, etc.
