Have you ever crocheted your own curtains? Now you can! This light and airy curtain allows diffused sunlight into your space in the most beautiful way. With instructions to lengthen the curtain to your liking, this design can be customized for nearly every window height.
Skill Level: Easy
Size: 36.75″ / [93 cm] wide x 34″ / [86 cm] depth

While gauge is important, a slight difference will not affect the success of this project although it may affect the amount of yardage used.

A turning chain at the beginning of each single crochet row was not used in the sample project, but feel free to use one if desired.
The beg tr crochet and end tr crochet sts form the outside edges of the curtain. A normal ch-4 may be substituted for a beg tr crochet and a normal tr crochet substituted for an end tr crochet.

Adjusting the size of the curtain
The width of the curtain can be adjusted by adding or subtracting multiples of 17 sts. Each set of 17 sts in the Treble & K-st pattern equals 3.25″ of width.
The depth of the curtain can be adjusted by working more or fewer rep of Rows 1-2 of the Treble & K-st pattern. Each set of Rows 1-2 equals 0.875″ of length.
Adjustments for either the width and/or length will affect the amount of yarn required. Work a good size swatch to use for determining how much yarn you will need.

i have been looking for a crocheted curtain patterns.. will definitely make this but using a different yarn..fingering cotton..Thanks..
I love this, we just bought a new house with the best views these will be perfect can’t wait to get started. Thank you
Love the pattern! Would a #3 crochet cotton be a good choice?
Hello! I think you would just need to do a gauge swatch and see how it looks. Linen and cotton drape differently, so you would just have to see if you like how the cotton works up. Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
I love this pattern
Think I can make this with a heavier wt yarn as long as I make some needed adjustments for fit? I need to get rid of my fish bowl effect on my front windows without cutting out much of the light. It will make me feel less like living in a fish bowl. Love this pattern and I will see what I can do with this one. Thanks,
sam
Did you make these curtains?
I have been looking for a curtain pattern! This is perfect. I wonder if anyone knows a way to add hearts along the edge?
This curtain looks amazing. Delicate yet sturdy and just a beautiful design. Can’t wait to try it.
Is this yarn really about $15.50 US a ball
Hi Mary Jane! According to Quince & Co.’s website, it’s about $9.50 per ball. However, I do recommend YarnSub if you’re looking for alternatives! https://yarnsub.com/yarns/quince_and_co/sparrow
