Flower Basket with Butterfly Filet Crochet Pattern

A butterfly swoops in for a treat from the flower basket in this easy crochet pattern designed by Fern Graham in 1921. You can use this pattern to make a pillow cover, wall hanging, or window decoration.
This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today’s crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won't need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms.
The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch and double crochet.
