Seville Hairpin Lace Stole | Vintage Crochet Pattern PDF
Seville Hairpin Lace Stole, a Seville hairpin lace stole pattern, is an elegant vintage wrap built from six long Hairpin Lace strips and finished with a distinctive edging and tassels.
Original Size
Approximately 20 × 70 inches.
Construction & Technique
The stole uses six strips with 194 loops each side on a 3-inch fork. The construction combines the main yarn with a contrasting finishing yarn and uses twisted-loop edging before tassels are attached.
Modern Maker’s Notes
Match all six strips before joining. Even small length differences will show across a long stole.
Control twist direction. The edging depends on consistent loop handling.
Test tassel weight after blocking.
Substitute by hand and drape. A stole needs enough body to display the lace without becoming stiff.
Then & Now
Wear as an evening stole, bridal wrap, or long textural scarf over a simple dress or coat.

Seville Hairpin Lace Stole Pattern: Working With The Heritage Edition
For the Seville stole, equal strip length, consistent twist direction in the edging, and tassel weight all influence the finished drape. Because vintage yarn names, loom settings, hook numbering, and sizing conventions may differ from present-day practice, begin with the original source and make a controlled swatch before committing to the full project.
In addition, compare the blocked sample with the original measurements and construction sequence rather than relying only on a modern yarn label. Hairpin Lace responds strongly to loop width, center-stitch tension, joining tension, and fiber memory. Therefore, small material differences can become more visible after several long strips have been joined.

Modern Yarn Reference
When comparing a discontinued vintage yarn with a current substitute, the Craft Yarn Council Standard Yarn Weight System is a useful modern reference for yarn categories, typical crochet gauges, and hook ranges. However, those categories are guidelines. For historical Hairpin Lace, the original measurements and your own blocked swatch remain the final authority.
Before You Begin
First, read the complete historical source. Next, identify each strip, loop count, loom width, joining instruction, and finishing step. Then make and block a sample with your chosen yarn. Finally, record loom width, loop gauge, yarn behavior, and substitutions so later sections remain consistent.
