Irish crochet lace was a style of Irish lace which is generally considered allied to rather than a true lace. It was originally developed in mid-nineteenth century Ireland as a method of imitating expensive Venetian point laces.^[1]

By 1845 it was being taught in the Ursuline Convent, Blackrock, Co. Cork. Within a few years it was being taught in almost every convent in the country and used as part of Famine Relief Schemes. By 1857, approximately 12,000 women were working in crochet.^[2]

Charity groups sought to revive the economy by teaching crochet lace technique at no charge to anyone willing to learn.^[3] This type of lace is characterised by separately crocheted motifs, which were later assembled into a mesh background. Other types of Irish crochet include Rosslea and Clones lace.

Irish Crochet Lace is made with a very fine steel crochet hook and fine crochet cotton or linen thread. It begins with an outline of the pattern on a piece of cloth. Each motif is then crocheted separately, using cotton cord for volume and shaping. The finished motifs are then basted (sewn with a loose stitch for temporary tacking) onto a cloth in the shape of the pattern. The motifs are then joined using chains and picots. When all the motifs have been joined together to form one piece of lace, the basting stitch is removed from the back cloth, revealing the completed lace.

Irish Crochet Lace, particularly Cluny Lace, is experiencing a revival as modern designs are being created by Irish lacemakers as well as others, such as Eastern European, Australian, Asian and North American designers. Máire Treanor organizes the annual Clones Lace Summer School in Clones, County Monaghan, as a gathering place for designers and students wishing to learn and preserve traditional patterns and share innovative ideas.
