Part 1: Main Crochet Curtain Panels
Make three panels: one center sheer panel and two side panels.
Step 1: Foundation Chain
Measure the desired curtain width.
Create a foundation chain in multiples of 6 + 4 stitches.
For a sample panel, CH 184.
Step 2: Mesh Pattern
Row 1: DC in the 4th CH from the hook. CH 2, skip 2 CH, DC in next CH. Repeat across.
Row 2: CH 3, turn. CH 2, DC in next DC. Repeat across.
Row 3–end: Repeat Row 2 until the curtain reaches the desired length, leaving space for the decorative bottom border.
For a lightweight, airy appearance, maintain loose and even tension.
Part 2: Floral Lace Bottom Border
The bottom border features large openwork flowers with pointed scallops.
Round 1: Base
Work SC evenly across the bottom edge.
Round 2: Lace Foundation
CH 5, skip 3 ST, SC in next ST. Repeat across.
Round 3: Flower Petals
Into each CH-5 space, work:
SC, CH 3, 3 DC, CH 3, SC.
Repeat across the row.
Round 4: Decorative Arches
Work CH-7 arches between the flower groups, attaching each arch with SC.
Round 5: Scalloped Finish
Into each CH-7 space work:
SC, HDC, 3 DC, TR, PICOT, TR, 3 DC, HDC, SC.
Repeat across.
For a border closer to the photograph, make separate eight-petal floral motifs and join them along the lower edge using chain arches.
Part 3: Crochet Floral Valance
The upper valance creates the most decorative section of the curtain.
Step 1: Foundation
CH a length matching the full curtain rod width, using a multiple of 12 + 4.
Row 1: DC in the 4th CH from the hook and in each remaining CH.
Rows 2–5: CH 3, turn, DC across.
Step 2: Floral Motifs
Make one flower for each decorative repeat.
Round 1: Create a magic ring, CH 3, work 15 DC into the ring. SL ST to join.
Round 2: CH 4, skip 1 ST, SC in next ST. Repeat 8 times.
Round 3: In each CH-4 space, work SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC.
Round 4: Behind each petal, create CH-5 loops.
Round 5: Work SC, HDC, 5 DC, HDC, SC into each loop.
Fasten off.
Make enough flowers to cover the valance width, then join them with chain-loop lace sections.
Step 3: Pointed Scalloped Edge
Attach yarn to the lower edge.
Work alternating CH-5 and CH-7 loops.
In each CH-7 loop, crochet:
SC, HDC, 4 DC, TR, PICOT, TR, 4 DC, HDC, SC.
Repeat across to create the decorative hanging points.
Part 4: Curtain Rod Button Tabs
Make approximately 9 tabs, adjusting the number to your curtain width.
- CH 9.

- Rows 2–18: CH 1, turn, SC across.
- Create a buttonhole near one end using CH 2 and skipping 2 stitches.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.

Fold each tab around the wooden curtain rod and secure it with its button.
Part 5: Crochet Curtain Tiebacks
Make two matching tiebacks.
Tieback Strap
Row 1: CH 13, SC in the second CH and across.
Rows 2–45: CH 1, turn, SC across.
Continue until the strap fits comfortably around the gathered curtain.

For a closer match to the reference image, focus on the sage green color, large floral valance, delicate open mesh, scalloped side borders, and matching flower tiebacks.
