In mint condition and silky smooth to the touch, this coverlet was painstakingly hand crocheted with fine cotton crochet thread in deep indigo and ecru. The pattern is a copy of an early 19th century, hand loomed linen overshot coverlet. The body has been worked in a subtle ribbed crochet pattern, and is surrounded by a 1 ¼ inch border of alternating indigo and ecru. The 2 inch fringe is a wonder of patient handwork; knotted and twisted into a complex pattern in the same ecru cotton. Wow! Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
