\nHairpin Lace<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHairpin Lace (also called hairpin crochet, fork crochet and
\nMaltese lace which is not to be confused with Maltese bobbin lace) is an open
\nlace strip or braid.  It is made on a
\nU-shaped pin and worked with a crochet hook. 
\nIt is easy too work and useful for edgings, collars and cuffs. <\/div>\n

\nThe forks could be held with the opening up or down as the pattern required.<\/div>\n

\n19thC women used their hairpins (hence the name). Commercial
\npins also called \u201cforks\u201d (or staples) were available.<\/div>\n

\nEventually, by the 1930\u2019s adjustable, rectangular forks made
\nit possible to make fine, narrow strips using cotton threads or heavier, wider
\nbands using wool.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAlso available were forks with three or more prongs, which
\nenabled the maker to create loops of various lengths within the same strip.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nWhile this type of lace-making has gone out of style there are
\nstill patterns and forks available.   Examples of the hairpin edgings are most
\nfrequently found  on vintage handkerchiefs
