This lacy loop uses a combination of chains and double crochet clusters to form arched open motifs, like a fountain or flowers. I like this pattern because it looks nice from both sides and most stitches are worked into spaces, making the crocheting flow easily. Fringe hides the join and adds texture to the finished piece. For more interest, consider using a contrasting color or texture for your fringe.
