valarltdThese garters are from 1895.
I'm doing them in black thread and on a slightly larger hook (5 rather than 7) so it doesn't take a million rows to get around my thigh (22 1/2 inches). It's 2 iterations per inch.
After I master the pattern (and get some callouses, thread crochet EATS my fingers) I may try them with beads at the center of each x.
