Antique Lace Wedding Garter

"Crochet a beautiful lace wedding garter with this free pattern. Delicate lace details, and a dainty rosebud give this set a Victorian era feel that’s perfect for country, or romantic style weddings. A lace ruffle can be sewn to the bottom for an ultra feminine look. The pattern includes 6 sizes, XS-2XL with options to adjust it further if you need to. This garter is also easily customizable to fit the bride's colors. Crochet it in white thread, and add a blue ribbon, or blue rosebud for the Bride's "something blue". And don't forget one garter to keep and one to toss--it's tradition! This design does require some hand sewing to attach the lace ruffle and elastic band but the result is well worth it!"
