Pastel Wind Chime Crochet Lace Pattern

When you hear the tickle of a cool breeze through a wind chime, you know spring is in the air. The Pastel Wind Chime Crochet Lace Pattern is the perfect blanket to celebrate the coming of this new season. These crochet stripes alternate between a basketweave crochet pattern, a crochet shell stitch pattern, and a crochet popcorn stitch pattern.

The result is a beautiful array of lacy sweetness, accentuated by its soft pastel color scheme. This crochet afghan almost looks like a beautifully decorated Easter egg!
