I am looking for a pattern for a knitted bridal horseshoe for a wedding that I will be going to next year. Can anyone help?

I would also be interested in that. My daughter is getting hitched (LOL) next year :lol:

I made a wedding horseshoe last year. It was made with knitting lace. I bought my pattern from e-bay.

The one I made was from crinny,s crafts on ebay.

 

[veejayh]

Sorry but I'm not able to access the item on ebay

 

[Pontygirl]

Sorry, but I can,t figure out what I am doing wrong? but I purchased the pattern from Crinny's Crafts on ebay.

I have asked Crinny how much lace it would take but an automatic reply says that she isn't able to get to her office at moment. I will just have to be patient. Many thanks.

I'm sorry but I can't remember how much lace it took, but it was not a lot.

2nd row knit
3rd row with knitting lace and yarn knit
4th row knit
6th row knit
7th row knit
8 th row with knitting lace and yarn knit

Continue till 6 rows with knitting lace have been completed
Knit 2 more rows cast off

With card make a horse shoeshape

The width of card needs to be around 2inches height around 7-8 inches

Once shape is cut out glue wadding to shape allow to dry then sew knitting around the shape attach any ribbons or embellishments you want
