Finally, after much pattern tweaking here she is - the Emelia Lace Choker. Add a little lace flare to almost any outfit. Wear it over a high neck shirt or a more dramatic neckline. This piece is knit lengthwise and is essentially two lace edgings facing in opposite directions with a center column of enlarged eyelets between them. I really wanted to make a very complete pattern and it took a little longer but I'm pretty pleased with the results. Included are both the written out lace instructions and the charted design in scalable, easy to read format.
The upper lace is my variation of an 1890's rosebud pattern. The bottom edging calls to mind the rose's thorns and the pattern looks of little stems and leaves. Two delicate button loops worked in the bind-off row and ribbon woven through the center eyelets secure the piece in the back.

Great job!! It looks lovely!!
It's lovely!! If I had a neck I'd be all over making one for myself :)
It's beautiful!
Mmm ... I see another Anna Bell (different style, maybe) in the making! Not my usual garment item, but it is beautiful! Congratulations!
(Anna is one of my favourite knit-blogger designer.)
WOW!... I just said "Wow!..." when I saw the finished choker. It's amazingly beautiful! (And you are beautiful, of course, this blue colour really suits you!) I hope to find my Paypal account details and buy the pattern soon. ^^
That looks great!
Another amazing design!
A beautiful and elegant new design, J! I love the way it looks on you!
I really like the way you combined the two different laces. It looks great on you. Thanks for the nice comments on my Magknits pattern, BTW (re. the cover photo, it always helps to have a cute model!).
Wow.. that is beautiful! I love the blue.. it looks so pretty on you too! Lace makes me crazy with a capital C but I'm going to have to try it anyway.. it will be great when the weather gets cooler here in Georgia (whenever the heck that is)
